6 AFTERMARKET MAY 2024 www.aftermarketonline.net Tickets have gone on sale for this year’s Ben Ball, with all the glitz and glamour of the roaring ’20s lined up for this year’s event for the automotive industry charity Ben. The black-tie event will be held at the Old Billingsgate Market on December 11 and early booking is recommended as last year’s ball was a sell-out with nearly 500 attending from the automotive community. Matt Wigginton, director of partnerships, engagement and income at Ben, said an evening of style and sophistication awaits — as well as an opportunity to raise much-needed funds. “We continue to support a record number of automotive people due to the cost-of-living crisis which is having a big impact on their health and wellbeing,” Wigginton said. “Ben Ball is a critical fundraising event as it brings in vital donations to change lives and support those who are struggling, while also enabling us to recognise those who have helped us achieve so much during the year.” Full details online: https://ben.org.uk Tickets on sale for Ben Ball ROWE heads into fast lane with Brabham German oil brand ROWE, which launched its lubricants, coolants and fluids range into the UK market early last year, has announced that former F1 driver and Le Mans winner, David Brabham, has joined as a brand ambassador.
