AutoRaise insurance partner Admiral Group have extended their support of the industry charity through another financial contribution.
Following a call to the insurer and work provider sector for emergency support, Admiral Group agreed to support the initiative with a “sustainable industry” contribution as part of the AutoRaise Stepping Up campaign. Rob Harper, Head of Claims Business Performance at Admiral Group, explains “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.” In a further demonstration of support, some of the Admiral Group have created a new fundraising initiative that has just been launched to Admiral Group employees and their repair network. Ian Phillips, Claims Engineer Manager, says “We are absolutely delighted to be supporting AutoRaise by raising funds with our Admiral’s Extra Mile initiative. Anyone wishing to show their support can donate by following the just giving link: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/admirals-extramile. But 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. Here’s to a healthy and positive 2021 for all.” Bob Linwood, AutoRaise CEO, added “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 want to do even more through their brilliant “Extra Mile” event shows true partnership. Personally, I already need to lose some extra pounds without even considering my festive intake so I shall definitely be going for it in January. I hope all of our industry friends and acquaintances get on board too! AutoRaise would welcome the opportunity of discussing partnership opportunities with any stakeholders in the industry who will benefit from a buoyant vehicle repair sector in the future. Please contact Jen Evans at jen.evans@autoraise.co.uk who will coordinate a meeting with the wider AutoRaise team.
