Admiral increases charity support

AutoRaise insurance partner Admiral Group has extended its support with another financial contribution.

Rob Harper, head of claims business performance at Admiral Group, said: “We felt it was incredibly important to support our partnership with AutoRaise at a critical time. We knew they hadn’t been able to raise funds in the usual way this year and as a leading motor insurer, have always recognised the importance of their work to sustain the vehicle repair industry. It was a really easy decision to be honest and I hope that more insurers increase their funding contribution in the new year.”

Admiral has also created a new fundraising initiative to support the charity.

Ian Phillips, claims engineer manager, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be supporting AutoRaise by raising funds with our Admiral’s Extra Mile initiative.

“Those wishing to take on the challenge can donate £10 and walk or run 20, 35 or 60 plus miles throughout January. We are already off to a good start with entrants and looking forward to many more. Signups for the challenge will stay open right up until the last weekend of the January.”

Bob Linwood, AutoRaise CEO, said: “Rob and the Admiral Group team have always been ultra-supportive of AutoRaise and we were delighted to receive this extra contribution during a difficult time for the charity and we intend to continue pursuing other routes to gain support from insurers and work providers who will rely on a fully skilled industry to support their policyholders needs around accident repair.

“The fact that Admiral Group wants to do even more through their brilliant Extra Mile event shows true partnership.”
