In September we announced that we had been awarded the Regional Community Impact – MotoNovo Finance Extra Mile Award 2021.


After our success in winning the regional award in September, lGraham Kirkwood was delighted to attend MotoNovo's first ever 'Dealer of the Year' Awards evening, to collect the 'National Award for Community Impact' last night.


The MotoNovo Finance Extra Mile Awards recognise & celebrate their dealer partners who have gone above & beyond for their customers, community or relationship with them.


For the past 30 years Bridgend Motor Group has been very pleased to support a local charity that does fantastic work, and is in place to help everyone in our community, The Ayrshire Hospice . The Ayrshire Hospice was established to enhance the quality of remaining life for those suffering from any life-limiting illness including cancer, neurological conditions, end stage heart failure and lung disease, as well as to support families and carers facing the loss of a loved one.


Twenty years ago, Graham Kirkwood, Commercial Sales Manager at Bridgend, was asked to help organise an Autumn Ball in North Ayrshire in aid of the hospice, and the rest as they say is history! Graham still organises the annual North Ayrshire Ball, and over the last 20 years this event has raised over £1m for the hospice, with a lot of support from the local community & businesses.


Graham’s commitment to raising funds for this invaluable charity don’t stop there! Graham has also taken part in 3 overseas treks in support of the hospice, to The Great Wall of China, Machu Picchu in Peru, and the Grand Canyon. Graham has received fantastic support during these treks, and has raised over £28,000 for the charity.


Next up! postponed from 2020 to October 2022, Graham is joining a trek to the Sahara to continue his fundraising, and we will be very pleased to once again support both the Ayrshire Hospice and Graham on this adventure.


Thanks again to MotoNovo for this award.
