First Stop Free Fuel Winner
|
30/06/2009
Motorists have faced a barrage of bad news this year including increasing fuel tax, revised road tax brackets, and reduced access to credit as well as the endless misery of road works, traffic jams and bad drivers. So in an effort to bring a little sunshine into the lives of the Nation's drivers, the First Stop network of tyre dealerships has chosen to pay for a number of lucky drivers' fuel.
Lisa Chatfield of Stoke on Trent was the first prize winner of a year's supply of free fuel. The second entry to be drawn was Clive Moles of Lincolnshire, who has won enough fuel to keep him motoring for a month.
Earlier in the year First Stop also surprised motorists at fuel station forecourts across the country by offering to pay for their tank of petrol.
Winner Lisa was delighted and commented: "I had just been to replace two of my tyres when I entered the competition and was absolutely delighted to find out that I had won.
I am a busy mum and use my car a lot during the week, as well as getting out and about at the weekend. I had totally forgotten about entering this competition so it was a wonderful surprise to hear that I had won. Combined with the fact that my fiancé has just been made redundant from JCB this prize will be a great financial help."
Motorists were encouraged to enter the Free Fuel competition at the First Stop network of dealerships across the UK. The competition was part of a wider campaign by First Stop Tyre Dealerships to offer motorists a helping hand in the current climate by ensuring that they aren't out of pocket when it comes to the cost of their fuel.
Dan Woodward retail marketing analyst at First Stop said: "In the current climate motorists are being put under increasing pressure in terms of the general costs of running a car, environmental concerns and the sheer volume of traffic on the nation's roads, it is no surprise that motoring has lost some of its joy. We wanted to give something back to a couple of drivers at a much needed time."
The next treat being organised for drivers by First Stop, which is owned by Bridgestone, is the opportunity to win a luxury holiday. For full details of the competition and to find details of your local dealership please log on to http://www.firststop4tyres.co.uk
