News from THE CO-OPERATIVE MOTOR GROUP RENAULT BRADFORD
For immediate release: September 20th 2011
A fitness fanatic from Thackley said he is still in shock after winning, and then being presented with, a new Renault Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet at Co-op Bradford.
Matthew Connolly won the car, which is worth over £20,000, after completing the Renault Fitness First Member Challenge Competition and undergoing a series of set exercise tasks, before entering his details into a prize draw.
The 46-year-old HGV driver said: “Winning the competition was quite a shock to say the least. I read the letter telling me I had won three times, and it still didn’t sink in.
“My daughter Beky picked it up, read it, and told me it must be a hoax. It wasn’t until my wife, Susan, got back from work that we actually rang the number printed at the top.”
The Renault Fitness First Member Challenge invited people to take part in a series of exercise tasks on their favourite work-out equipment at their Fitness First gym over the summer.
Entrants had to complete 12 out of 14 activities listed as part of the challenge, and then fill in their details to be in with a chance to win a Renault car.
Mr Connolly said winning the Mégane couldn’t have come at a better time, as his current family car is over ten years old, and he had hoped to replace it.
The father-of-two said: “My friends were very surprised when I told them about my amazing win.
“I have never won anything, let alone something as fantastic as a Renault Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet.”
David Freer, Dealer Principal at Co-op Bradford presented Mr Connolly with his new Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet at the dealership on Thornton Road.
He said: “It was a pleasure to hand over the keys to Mr Connolly and see how thrilled he was to win the competition.
“It is an amazing prize and we are glad that Mr Connolly enjoyed taking part in the Fitness First challenge as much as winning the Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet. It is a safe and reliable vehicle that looks great, thanks especially to the 100% glass electric convertible roof.”
