The Hendy Group - Charity of the Year AwardWe are pleased to announce that our lead sponsor for the 2010 Awards is The Hendy Group. The Hendy Group is one of the largest motoring groups in the south of England. Employing in excess of 900 people across 30 sites, the company supplies top quality vehicles, services, body repair and parts to its customers. To celebrate the Company’s 100th Birthday as a Limited Company, they announced that they had chosen to share the Group’s growing success with the Automotive Industry Charity, BEN. A large donation helped to provide financial and emotional support for employees and their dependents in times of need. As well as BEN, the Group is associated with a variety of different charities including company directors taking part in this years’ London to Brighton Bike Ride, and money generated from the Hendy golf days supporting research into Leukaemia and supporting disabled children. The Hendy Group's franchises cover Ford, Mazda, Honda, Kia, Iveco and LDV. The Hendy name has been well respected on the South Coast for over 150 years - from its small beginnings selling clothes and bicycles, to the Hendy Group we know today. The company is proud of being Britain's first Ford dealer and it is an association that has gone from strength to strength - to this day, Ford accounts for 60 per cent of the company's business. Currently, both chairman and deputy chairman are great-grandsons of the company's founder F.A. Hendy, with the next generation of sons and daughters within the company structure assuring the continuity of the business. Even with sales in excess of £200 million, the Hendy Group to this day remains a tight-knit family concern.
