NGO Teams Up With JCB

24 March 2011

The National Gamekeepers' Organisation has secured a new major sponsorship deal with leading UK equipment manufacturer and exporter JCB. This means JCB will be supporting the NGO in a number of ways during 2011 in order to promote its new range of JCB WORKMAX  4x4 utility vehicles.

NGO Chairman, Lindsay Waddell said: "JCB support for the NGO and the gamekeeping profession is hugely welcome and comes at an important time. JCB have an excellent product range for gamekeepers. The new relationship will see us side by side at shows and events and in time there will be more to come. We have here a great British company working hand in hand with a great British organisation; what could be better."

The new relationship was signed-off recently at the NGO's AGM at Stafford Showground, co-incidentally just a few miles from JCB Worldwide Headquarters near Uttoxeter.

To kick-start the new partnership following the AGM, JCB presented fresh off the production line a new JCB WORKMAX 800 D to be this year's star NGO Raffle prize. Tickets will be on sale shortly and may be purchased wherever the NGO has a presence at shows during the summer. The prize draw for the £9,000 machine will be drawn at the Midland Game Fair, Weston Park in September.      

JCB Utility Products Sales Director Keith Hoskins said: "We are delighted to be closely associated with the NGO, particularly so because we know that gamekeepers are the major influencers in estates' purchasing decisions, and UK estates management is the leading market for our new UTV."
