Wessex Garages Drive Forward With New Partnership

The Lloyds Bank Cardiff Half Marathon have once again teamed up with Wessex Garages who will remain as official vehicle sponsor for the 2014 race which will take place in the Welsh capital on Sunday 5th October.

Continuing an already strong relationship, Wessex Garages will supply the official Lloyds Bank Cardiff Half Marathon promotional car, and the all-important race day vehicle, which will lead over 22,000 runners around the iconic Cardiff Half course.

Wessex Garages, based in Bristol but covering the whole of south Wales and the south-west, have been trading for over 25 years with showrooms in Cardiff, Newport, Gloucester and Bristol. The company have a long and distinguished record for first-rate customer service and aftersales care, including winning ‘Dealer of the Year’ at the Cardiff Life Awards in March this year, and a Nissan Global award in 2013.

Run 4 Wales marketing manager Annabelle Mason expressed her excitement at this year’s deal which continues the strong connection between the two companies.

”Wessex Garages are fantastic supporters of the Lloyds Bank Cardiff Half Marathon and we have developed an excellent working relationship with them over the last few years. Our new promotional vehicle, a  bright and colourful Nissan Qashqai will be an eye-catching reminder to runners that there’s still time to register for this year’s Lloyds Bank Cardiff Half Marathon and take part in the second largest half marathon in the UK.”

Gareth Howells, General Manager at Wessex Garages on Hadfield Road, said: “We are always keen to support local businesses, charities and organisations within our community.

“The Lloyds Bank Cardiff Half Marathon is a fantastic event and we are pleased that we have been chosen as its official vehicle sponsor for the second time.”
