The Holden Group are proud to have been involved with the below projects and organisations near our base in Norwich and the surrounding area:

Local skills development initiatives

Tony Holden represented the motor trade in the skills development programme for Norwich City Council. The programme was aimed at encouraging school leavers to seek skilled work within their local community. Since this initial involvement we have continued to offer work experience placements within all our companies.

Young Enterprise Scheme

We have participated in the Young Enterprise Scheme for 3 consecutive years. The scheme is aimed at school children and encourages them to develop commercial skills and understand the basic principles of business.

Association with Mile Cross Middle School

Tony Holden was a governor of Mile Cross Middle School.

Norfolk Constabulary

The Holden Group has had a long standing relationship with various departments of Norfolk Police. During this time we have loaned the drug squad our trade vehicles for their undercover officers to use in their operations, as well as loaning cars, vans and other vehicles for community liaison officers when visiting schools. We are hosting shared stands at local events, as well as inviting them to participate in our showroom-based activities.

Bright Sparks - Visibly Better Road Safety campaign

In recent years we have twice sponsored the Bright Sparks campaigns in association with Norfolk Police and Norfolk Country Council, supplying 50,000 high visibility stickers for school children and 4000 high visibility jackets and armbands for cyclists and pedestrians.

Norwich City Football Club's football in the community

We have supported this charity since 1999. In that time we have provided cars and vans for the coaching staff to use when they visit schools and local events promoting football and any other physical sports for children, including working with children and those from deprived areas.

Norfolk NHS Trust

A.E. Holden was chairman of the Trust for 5 years following 4 years spent as Vice Chairman. During this period he was responsible for overseeing the move from Norfolk & Norwich Hospital to the University Hospital at Colney. We have also supplied the Trust with various support vehicles, including those adapted and converted to meet specific requirements.

The Norfolk Wildlife Trust

We have enjoyed a commercial relationship with the Trust for over 8 years, in addition to participating in most of their local events and loaning them additional vehicles from our range of accessible mobility cars and minibuses when required.
