Hendy shortlisted for prestigious industry award

Hendy Group has been shortlisted for a key automotive award for its commitment to supporting the communities in which it operates.

It has been shortlisted for the Community Hero Award in the AM Awards for its work in setting up the Hendy Foundation which provides grants to charities and organisations.

Hendy commercial director and Hendy Foundation trustee Mark Busby said he was thrilled that the initiative has been shortlisted for such a prestigious award less than a year after being set up.

“Throughout Hendy’s 161 years in business the company has always had an extensive community support programme and this has now been formalised in the setting up of the Hendy Foundation,” said Mark.

“This has already paid grants to a wide range of charities and organisations and will continue to support people and causes across the south coast.”

Charities supported in the first year include Exmouth Town Concert Band based in Exeter.
