NAPA Auto Parts to participate in The Blend charity hike 2025 in support of Ben Automotive

29 Aug 2025

NAPA Auto Parts UK and Ireland are gearing up to participate in the upcoming charity hike hosted by The Blend, in support of the automotive charity, Ben. The hike precedes The Blend’s annual independent garage conference and networking event, which NAPA Auto Parts are proud sponsors of and will be attending in October 2025.

The hike is a demanding 11-kilometre circular trek across Snowdon, starting at Pen-y-Pass and ascending to the summit, passing key checkpoints including the picturesque Llyn Llydaw lake and Ridge Junction below Bwlch y Moch.

Andrew Bastable, National Sales Manager, Aaron Hill, Area Manager, and James Ralph, Divisional Manager, will be representing NAPA Auto Parts UK and Ireland on the hike, helping to raise vital funds and awareness for Ben Automotive, the charity dedicated to supporting automotive professionals. NAPA Auto Parts, alongside parent company Alliance Automotive Group, have been avid supporters of Ben throughout the years, hosting internal fundraising initiatives and raising awareness of the support they provide.

Andrew Bastable said “Myself, James and Aaron are incredibly proud to represent NAPA Auto Parts in the Blend Charity Hike 2025. This event is a great opportunity to challenge ourselves physically, while raising much-needed funds for Ben Automotive, a charity that does incredible work supporting our industry and community. We’re looking forward to tackling the tough terrain of Snowdon and showing our commitment to a cause that matters.”
