Warwick Castle, bathed in hazy evening sunshine, was the perfect venue for Motaquip, as it celebrated its historic 35th anniversary on the first evening of Automechanika Birmingham 2017.
General manager, Peter Cox, welcomed the Motaquip family and distinguished guests to the medieval fortress.
Guests were shrouded in history, with many portraits of kings and queens hung on the walls originally built by William the Conqueror in 1068.
History was also brought to life with a pre-dinner battle between two armoured knights.
VIP hospitality tickets for the Friday practice sessions at the British Grand Prix were the top prizes on offer during the raffle; however, the pledges made were for a cause far greater.
More than £1,700 was donated by the guests to help a terminally-ill, four-year-old boy, grandson of a staff member at a Motaquip distributor, fulfil his dream of a family trip to Disney World Florida.
Peter Cox said: “As I eluded to in my speech these are exciting times for Motaquip, we are moving from being a UK brand to a global one and have already secured distribution in many European countries and further afield.
“We are also making significant appointments in the UK, Motaquip truly is a brand on the move.”
