NEWS February 2014 BEN donation was from South and West Wales! In the February 2014 issue of the NTDA News, it was reported that the NTDA’s South West Region had made a donation of £3,663 to BEN. This was an error, as it was, in fact, the members from South and West WALES that had raised this money. The money was donated to BEN on behalf of his region, by the current NTDA Executive Council representative and Honorary Life Member Derek Evans of Heath Tyre Services Ltd, who has served the region on the Executive Council for 25 years. On the 11th November 2014, Derek announced that he would like to stand down as the regional representative and although he intends to remain involved with the NTDA, would like another member to take his place in representing the interests and needs of the region’s members. Members interested in this position should contact the Director via email: [email protected] The NTDA Winter Ball presented by the North West and North Wales Region The Winter Ball, held at the Hilton Hotel Blackpool on 29th November, proved to be another fantastic evening of networking for the tyre industry, with retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers all coming together to socialise and raise money for charity. The NTDA Director Stefan Hay, who gave an address at the event, stressed to the guests the importance of such social networking saying: “From my own experience I know that more deals are made around the dining table than the board table. Next year, I would like to see twice as many people at this great event and would be delighted to see members from other regions getting involved”. Todd Sale and the team from leading motor factor and car parts distributor CES UK gave outstanding support to the Winter Ball The charity raffle and auction raised more than £1,800 for BEN and F.O.R.M.E. the region’s chosen charities. Bridget Urch Regional Chair said: “This was a tremendous event for both the region and the NTDA as a whole and I would like to thank all who attended and a special thank you to those who generously donated to the raffle and the auction making it a very successful and most enjoyable evening”. The 2015 Winter Ball will be held on Saturday 28th November, again at the Hilton Hotel, Blackpool.
