Cambria Automobiles has been awarded the Payroll Giving Gold Award 2010 by the automotive charity BEN.

The award was given in recognition of the Cambria’s decision to “foster a culture of philanthropy and committed giving in the workplace”.

The Gold Award is a symbol of excellence and is awarded to employers that have succeeded in generating sustainable income sources for UK charities through payroll giving.

Mark Lavery, Cambria’s chief executive officer, said: “We are delighted to be in a position where the associates of Cambria Automobiles can make a difference to those people in a less fortunate position.

“BEN is the one recognized motor trade charity and I believe in these difficult times that it has never been more important to support our own dedicated charity.”
