Best of the Best PLC (BOTB) is a Dream Car and Lifestyle Competition company that has been operating in major UK airports since 1999.[1]

The company gives a Dream Car away every week, and to date has handed the keys over to more than £25m worth of prizes. In 2018, BOTB also launched a separate weekly lifestyle competition giving away cash, luxury watches and motorbikes.[2]

Customers buy tickets for the prize they want to win and play Spot the ball.[3] The person closest to where an independent panel of judges deem the centre of the ball to be wins the car that week.[4]

BOTB is a UK registered company[5] and is listed on the AIM London Stock Exchange.[6] The headquarters are in Fulham, London.[7]

History

William Hindmarch founded BOTB in 1999 and serves as its Managing Director and CEO.[8] He graduated from the University of Durham in 1996[9] and was born into an entrepreneurial family. His father Michael Hindmarch founded a successful horticultural plastics company[10] and his sister is bag designer Anya Hindmarch.[11]

BOTB first launched at Heathrow Airport, where a Porsche 911 was put on display.[12]

BOTB has since operated from stands at major airports including London Gatwick North & South Terminals,[13] and they still have a stand at Birmingham Airport.[14]

Winners

To date more than 450 people worldwide have won a car with BOTB.[15] The cars won include Range Rovers,[16] Audis,[17] Aston Martins,[18] Jaguars,[19]Porsches,[20] and Maseratis.[21]

Charity donations

BOTB has made over 80 charitable donations to a wide range of both national and international charities.[22] These include Cancer Research,[23] Sparks,[24] and Great Ormond Street Hospital.[25]

Collaborations

BOTB has collaborated with several well-known names in Sport and Car Racing including Shmee150,[26] ex-stig Top Gear Stig Ben Collins,[27] Car Throttle, Supercars Of London and F1 racing driver David Coulthard who was an ambassador for BOTB from 2012 until March 2015.[28] Ex-England footballer Sol Campbell has regularly judged the competition since 2014.[29] In March 2016 Virgin Radio DJ Christian Williams took over from William Hindmarch as BOTB's YouTube presenter.[30]
