The entire staff members from sales, service and admin were all excited, since they were looking ahead to this camp and donate blood. The camp was conducted between 10.00 AM and 2.00 PM and the man behind the driving force at all these showrooms, of course, was Rtn. Shabbir Vali. Though the numbers look like mileages of respective brands, they are
actually the units of blood collected at these individual showrooms: Star Motors–21, Ford Sequel–10, Volkswagen–14 & Ford Sequel Service Centre–23. These total up to a laudable contribution of 68 units and we thank the entire staff at all these showrooms for their kind gesture towards the society.
