Tender 47 was launched at Bonham’s in London at the prestigious Bentley Styling and Design Art Project Charity Auction in aid of the Christie cancer hospital on Tuesday 1st December.

To help support the event the new Tender47 CEO Mr Paul Sullivan invited along some special guests including the new world boxing champion David Haye the Chelsea footballer Solomon Kalou the world renowned surrealist artist Paul Karslake and his talented sister Jo Woods.

Tender47 in association with Paul Karslake donated two specifically commissioned painted leather hides to the charity auction. The first of their kind featuring Tim Birkin (Bentley racing driver) and W.O.Bentley of Bentley Motor Cars.

Tender 47 would like to thank Bentley Motor cars for the opportunity to launch the new company at the event.
