Ben The Automotive Charity

🎃👻 This Halloween, we’re asking…

What’s the scariest phrase you hear at work?

Here are a few that give us chills:

😱 “Can I just pick your brain…”
😱 “Let’s circle back.”
😱 “We need this by EOD.”
😱 “It’ll only take five minutes.”

Now it’s over to you - what’s yours? Drop it in the comments!

💪 Ready for your next challenge?

From organised events to creating your own fundraiser, there’s something for everyone. Every mile run, every pound raised, every challenge, helps ensure automotive people have somewhere to turn when life gets tough.
