Mark takes on 2018 London Marathon for Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice

Our finance director is running the 2018 London Marathon for our dedicated charity, Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice. This is Mark’s first ever marathon and it has always been a bucket list of his to achieve. The London marathon consist of runners competing in a total 26.2 miles around our capital city, the furthest Mark has run to date is 13.1 miles!

With extensive training in place and a great can-do attitude Mark is looking forward to finishing this incredible achievement all for a great local charity.

Mark first fell for the buzz of running for Sue Ryder when he ran in a local half marathon in October 2017. From the cheering and clapping of the local people to the support of other runners, Mark quickly learnt that supporting and being part of such a great charity meant you became part of community full of honourable people.

Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall, Peterborough provide care for people aged 16 years and over in their 20-bed hospice who are living with long term conditions. They also support the local community through befriending, Hospice at Home and bereavement services. Thorpe Hall’s expert team includes doctors, nurses, care assistants, physiotherapists, occupational and complementary therapists, chaplains and bereavement support workers.

Mark’s target of raising £1,750 for the charity means that 3 days of incredible hospice care for a patient can be paid for. 2 visits from a clinical nurse specialist to support a patient at home and one session of bereavement counselling, for someone struggling to cope with the loss of a love one can happen.

Financial Disclosure

F.P. Smith Holdings (Newark Avenue) Limited, F.P. Smith Holdings (Ilkeston) Ltd, and F.P. Smith Motors Ltd are Appointed Representatives of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows F.P. Smith Holdings (Newark Avenue) Limited, F.P. Smith Holdings (Ilkeston) Ltd, and F.P. Smith Motors Ltd to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach for a new car purchase is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow.

Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.

In the event of disputes we are unable to resolve the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMI) National Conciliation Service will offer free impartial advice and when appropriate an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) service that we are fully committed to.
