THE fourth annual DuPont-sponsored charity triathlon for BEN, the motor industry benevolent fund, raised £2,484. Fourteen teams from across the motor industry took part - and Volvo took first place ahead of BMW and Chrysler.

A BEN raffle raised £9,030 at the Leasing Life/British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Assocation's Driving Forward conference. A further £1,100 was raised after the first prize in the draw - a weekend for two in Paris - was raffled.
