First Stop Gives Away Free Fuel

In an effort to brighten the lives of the nation’s cash-strapped 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.

Chatfield 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’d won. I’m 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.”

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.”
