Local business Polar Ford Warrington has been recognised for its outstanding commitment to the local community at a UK awards event. It won the first ever PR award presented by Ford Retail, the largest Ford dealer group in Europe and owners of Polar Ford.

Polar Ford stepped up its community programme last year at each of its dealerships in Warrington, Runcorn and St Helens and well as its South Manchester businesses in Wilmslow, Stockport and Macclesfield.

Activities in the community included sponsorship of the Warrington Wolves rugby league team, competitions with local schools and a series of highly successful charity nights in aid of Breast Cancer Care, raising £6,000 in just six months. The next charity event in the Polar Ford Warrington Showroom takes place on 31st May.

Gary Greenaway, Regional Director, Polar Ford, said:

“Polar Ford is committed to building links with our community and we have thoroughly enjoyed working with a wide number of local businesses, charities and schools in achieving our success. Particular credit goes to Kate Vella and Phil Rutter, two of our employees who have shown great enthusiasm for coordinating our community programme.”
