Over the past two weeks, our team have been travelling across the Barretts dealerships, serving up brunch in support of BEN, the automotive industry's charity. 💙

It was fantastic to see colleagues from across the business come together, take a break from their day, and enjoy some great food while supporting such an important cause. Together, we raised £1,454.15 for BEN, helping them continue the incredible work they do for people working in the automotive industry.

A huge thank you to everyone who got involved, and a special thank you to Shaun Bannon and his team of helpers, who put in so much effort travelling across our dealerships and serving up some fantastic brunches along the way. 🥓☕🥐 Your hard work, enthusiasm and dedication helped make the event such a success.

Thank you to everyone who donated, attended and supported the fundraising over the past two weeks. Every contribution will help BEN continue providing vital support to those working in our industry.

The countdown to Halloween is ON...

The zombie apocalypse has arrived, and you can only choose ONE Barretts vehicle to help you survive. 🚗☣️

Will you take the rugged Defender? The practical X-Trail? The adventure-ready GS? Or something else from our lineup?

Swipe through and decide which vehicle you'd trust when civilisation has fallen, the roads are overgrown, and the zombies are closing in... 👀

As for Andy? Well, the world may have ended, but somehow he's still turning up for his shuttle bus shift. 🚌🧟‍♂️

Today is World Mental Health Day 💚

Just as we wouldn't ignore a warning light in our vehicle, it's important not to ignore the signs when we're struggling ourselves.

Life can be busy, and challenges can affect any of us. Taking a moment to check in with our own wellbeing, and with those around us, can make a real difference.

At Barretts, we're proud to support Ben, the automotive industry's charity, helping to raise awareness of the support available to people across our sector.

If you're finding things difficult, remember that you don't have to face it alone.

💚 Check in. Listen. Talk. Support.
