❤️ Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice

Pride Month may have ended almost a month ago, but inclusion doesn’t stop at the end of June 🏳️‍🌈

During Pride Month, five months on from receiving Pride365 accreditation, we reflected on the progress made so far, and on the work still to come.

Some people may wonder what LGBT+ inclusion has to do with buying, servicing, or repairing a vehicle. For us, it’s very straightforward: we’re a people business.

Every day, people come to us as customers, colleagues, suppliers, and applicants, and every one of them should feel they are treated with courtesy, professionalism, and respect.

Pride365 sits within our wider commitment to making Smiths a place where people are treated fairly, spoken to respectfully, and welcomed without assumption or judgement, whatever their background or identity.

You may not have seen Pride flags outside our dealerships or rainbow branding across our social media channels, but that doesn’t mean the support isn’t there.

Visibility is important, but day-to-day actions matter more. The real measure is whether people feel respected and included throughout the year, not only in June.

What's changing with the Motability Scheme from 1st July 2026? 🚗

If you're on the Motability Scheme, or thinking about joining, it's important to know what the upcoming changes mean for you.

The good news? The Scheme's core benefits remain the same, including insurance, servicing, maintenance and breakdown cover. There are, however, a few updates that will apply to new leases from 1st July 2026, including changes to mileage allowances, tyre limits and overseas travel.

We've broken down everything you need to know in one easy-to-read guide, including what's changing, what's staying the same, and what it means for current customers.

🚣‍♂️ What a fantastic day at the Peterborough Dragon Boat Festival!

For the second year running, we proudly took to the water with our two teams, Smiths Rev & Row and The Fast & The Smithious. There was plenty of teamwork, determination, laughter and paddling throughout the day.

One of our teams even took their commitment to making a splash a little too literally and ended up capsizing! 😂 Thankfully, everyone was safe, and it certainly gave us all something to laugh about.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part, cheered us on, and donated to our fundraising efforts.

Swipe through for some of our favourite moments from the day! 📸
