Banner’s arrival is the icing on the cake at birthday celebration

Date: Thursday 17 June 2021

When the Banner team heard that the head of ABC Auto Factors of Burnham, Slough was due to reach a milestone birthday they decided to crash the party by delivering a celebratory cake to mark the occasion. And for the lucky recipient, Mindy Tawana, it was smiles all round as he hit the magical 40-year mark. In fact it was fair to say the gesture proved a real sweetener on the day.

As Mindy said:

“When Russ from Banner turned up with the cake it really was an unexpected and very pleasant surprise. As a business we enjoy a very strong relationship with Banner, so for them to acknowledge my 40th birthday says a lot about the business and those who are behind it.”

Given the size of the cake there was plenty to go round, so Mindy not only shared it amongst his eight strong ABC Auto Factors team, he was able to offer a slice to his loyal and nearby garage customers.

“We, like Banner, are a family business, so for them to take the time to help celebrate my special day in the manner in which they did made it a real family affair. Indeed it’s fair to say that Banner has always been brilliant at what they do, and the support we receive from them really is second to none. It has been a privilege to have a very close relationship with both Russ Shea and Lee Quinney since I entered the family business 18 years ago. On that note I would like to thank them for helping make my day a special one,” added Mindy.

Commenting on behalf of Banner, Business Development Manager, Russell Shea said:

“It was great to see the look on Mindy’s face when he was presented with his surprise Banner birthday cake. In truth, given the fact that we’ve always enjoyed a healthy relationship with Mindy and his team that goes beyond pure business, it was only appropriate to serve up a birthday treat.”
