Lads & Dads Men's Wellbeing C.I.C

During January 2023, Hawkstone Commercials began sponsoring popular men's mental health and wellbeing group Lads & Dads. In a recent study, findings suggested that over 40% of men suffer from mental health issues but do not speak about them. Lads & Dads was established in 2019 and provides a safe and confidential place for members to discuss, share ideas and support one another. In November 2023, Hawkstone Commercials acquired a Ford Transit Custom Double Cab for Lads & Dads to use and support the local community.

Now with over 2,000 members and 12 committee members, Lads & Dads is one of the largest men's mental health groups in the area. The funds provided by Hawkstone Commercials in Bridgend will allow the group to support its members with various activities and counselling sessions for those who require it most.

We're extremely proud to be in a position where we can give back to our local community and know that our small gesture will be used responsibly and effectively. If you would like to learn more about the work Lads & Dads do, head over to www.ladsanddads.org.

Autoserve

Hawkstone Commercials is proud to say that we have partnered with one of the UK’s leading servicing and maintenance providers. Whether it is a single vehicle or a fleet of vehicles, a full maintenance contract, particularly for high mileage users may well be a great benefit. Firstly, there is a budgetary control, meaning no nasty surprises such as major repair bills or tyre replacement, but also the full assistance back up that keeps drivers on the road and fleet managers informed.

Autoserve is operated from the national control centre by experienced staff with technical knowledge and specialist computer data systems. Personal service is the byword and a member of the Autoserve team, rather than an automated system will always answer you. Personal service is at the heart of Autoserve.
