    • Ben’s Big Breakfast returns for 2022, raising vital funds for automotive community
    • Host a breakfast morning at your workplace and bring, bake, make and sell a breakfast spread to raise money
    • Big Breakfast is an opportunity for colleagues to connect and check in with each other

    Following the huge success of last year’s Big Breakfast event, Ben, the automotive industry charity, is bringing the nationwide fundraising initiative back for 2022, aiming to raise even more life-saving donations to support those in the automotive community who are struggling or in crisis.

    The week-long event will kick off on World Mental Health Day, 10th October, the perfect excuse for colleagues to connect over a coffee, catch up over a croissant or bond over a bacon butty.

    Companies are invited to host a Ben’s Big Breakfast event from 10th-16th October and encourage their team, customers, friends and family to bring, bake or make a delicious breakfast spread, selling their goodies to raise money for those in our automotive family who need Ben’s help. Ben will also provide a Ben Bear to those hosting a Big Breakfast to raffle off and boost the fundraising efforts.

    Matt Wigginton, Director of Partnerships, Engagement & Income at Ben, said: “It’s official. The automotive industry loves a breakfast. Over 200 locations took part in last year’s inaugural Ben’s Big Breakfast – an unprecedented amount – so we knew we had to bring it back in 2022 and aim to reach even more automotive businesses!

    “The Big Breakfast is such a simple way to raise funds, but it’s also an important reminder to check in with our colleagues. Having a chat over a cup of coffee in the morning could make such a difference to someone’s day without you even realising it. Often, people are suffering in silence, thinking that nobody has noticed or cares about them. A small gesture like catching up over a cuppa could change that. It could be the first step to them opening up, or reaching out to Ben for help.”

    When any member of our automotive family is struggling or in crisis, we all rally to support them.

    Milton Keynes, 16 August 2022 – The innovative SEAT MÓ eScooter 125 is available from just £4,999* OTR throughout August, providing an accessible answer to zero emissions urban mobility at a discounted price point.

    With the cost of living rising, riders can save over £800 on the fully electric eScooter, enabling fleet and private buyers to travel more efficiently and conveniently.

    Capable of 59mph and with a range of 85 miles (WMTC), the innovative electrified urban transport solution incorporates a state-of-the-art removable battery for easy charging at home or at the rider’s place of work.

    Available now from participating retailers, the offer is available until 31st August, providing nearly 14% off the previous OTR price of £5,800.   

    Richard Harrison, Managing Director, SEAT UK, explained: “SEAT MÓ provides a truly compelling proposition for urban mobility. It is affordable, convenient and zero emissions mobility at its best. It is fully up to the demands of modern urban travel with its ample range and ease of changing, while being extremely fun to ride.

    “With the UK Government’s 2030 deadline looming, our two-wheeled electric vehicle is an ideal solution for the travel needs of motorists across the UK, including many who might never have considered a motorcycle previously.”

    The SEAT MÓ eScooter is equivalent to a 125cc motorcycle, priced at £4,999 OTR for August, it is also available from £79.40 per month (48 months) on PCP with a £99 deposit**, making it an affordable proposition for those wanting to spread the cost.

    Integrated into the SEAT MÓ’s rear wheel is a 9kW electric motor (peak power) – equivalent to a 125cc motorcycle or scooter – that produces 240Nm of torque, giving the city electric motorcycle a top speed of up to 59mph and a 0-31mph acceleration time of only 3.9 seconds. It also benefits from a Combined Braking System (CBS), alongside regenerative braking for improved range and a reverse gear.

    Customers can choose between three driving modes: City, Sport and Eco, as well as a reverse gear to make manoeuvring simpler.

    Further simplifying the ownership experience, the eScooter 125’s battery can be charged in situ or removed and placed nearer to a three-pin plug socket for convenient and safe charging.

    Available in three striking colours – Daring Red, Dark Aluminium, and Oxygen White – MÓ fuses dynamism, urban design and bold, contemporary looks with an incredibly low cost of ownership to offer a vehicle that is at home in the city and on the open road.
