Benz - Bavarian

Benz Bavarian, a community focused company

For many years now we have  focused on playing our part in the local community, both in Duffield and  the surrounding areas.

We believe that it is our corporate responsibility to play an integral part in supporting the local community. Consequently we are associated with various sponsorship activities involving many local organisations and worthy causes such as schools, clubs and some of our up and coming sporting talent.

Our involvement and support through sport stems from Felix Frixou, the Managing Director of Benz Bavarian and his personal involvement in individual and team sports throughout his life, including representation at National level in Football, Rugby and Squash for his native country of Cyprus.

We are the official supplier of vehicles to Derby Rugby Club and one of their main supporters. The ‘Benz-Bavarian’ hospitality suite is regularly used by our customers and clients on match days and for private functions.

We sponsor Nick Matthew, currently ranked World Number 2 and England Number 1, and we are one of the main sponsors of Duffield Squash Club.

Duffield is a National League Premier Division side, and without question, one of the top club sides in the country. They proudly bear the name of Benz-Bavarian Duffield (PSL).

Felix is the newly appointed team manager for this highly successful team, an accolade he is extremely proud of.

In 2009,Benz-Bavarian Duffield’s Number One, Nick Matthew overcame England Number Two James Willstrop 8-11 11-8 7-11 11-3 12-10 in an epic final to win his second British Open title in the past four years.

In the first all-English final for 70 years, Nick finally prevailed in a contest lasting just over two hours! Anyone who has watched a full speed, frenetic, professional squash match will realise just what a feat of shear stamina and determination this win was.   Congratulations Nick!
