Vauxhall Dominate UK Car Sales in February

Vauxhall Motors have dominated the UK car sales just one month after announcing their Home Nations football sponsorship.

Fresh from becoming the first company to be the lead partner of all four Home Nations football associations, the Luton based car manufacturer had an amazing 5 cars in the top ten with the new Corsa leading the way.

The 9812 cars registered was nearly 2300 more than any other car manufacturer.
“Vauxhall is making headway like never before in the British car market.

"Last month proved that we are now capable of attracting more customers than any other manufacturer, and this is down to the strength of our products, their competitive pricing and a warranty on every new car which has the potential to last a lifetime.

"We’re also confident that our sponsorship of the Home Nations football will help us to engage with new customers, who may never have considered buying a Vauxhall before.” said Duncan Aldred, Vauxhall’s Managing Director.
Macesport handle a full football pr service for Vauxhall.

Sav Signs up for Respect FC

Respect FC made a late swoop in the January transfer window and beat the deadline to sign none other than Robbie Savage.

Macesport client Savage pledged his support for the club following the launch of the club by the FA that is designed to to tackle bad behaviour from fans and players.

“I’m sure many people will be surprised by my latest move, and I know I may not have set the most shining example in the past, but I’ve come to realise that poor behaviour is not an acceptable part of football – be it on the pitches, in the stands or even down the local park.

“My two sons both enjoy the game and it’s my responsibility as their dad to make sure that the environment in which they are playing or watching football is a safe and respectable one. I’ve looked at my own behaviour, now I’m asking others to do the same and join me in supporting Respect FC.”
