Lidl sponsorship boost for Ulster Grand Prix

Caitriona Maguire, Lidl Northern Ireland, said, “We are delighted to be a sponsor of the Ulster Grand Prix, which has an extremely high reputation in Northern Ireland and internationally.

“For us the association with the Ulster Grand Prix is about reinforcing our pride in Northern Ireland and what it has to offer to thousands of visitors who will be travelling to Dundrod throughout Bike Week.

“A core part of our business is about supporting the local community and we do this by sourcing as much local produce as possible such as potatoes from the Glens of Antrim, as well as our Fit factor programme in local schools.

“We would like to take the opportunity to wish Dundrod and District Motorcycle Club every success with the celebrations this year and we know that it will be a memorable event for competitors and spectators alike,” she added.

Clerk of the Course Noel Johnston said; “I am very pleased to see another local company lending its support to our great race and would like to thank Lidl for coming on board with us.

“We are very proud to be celebrating the 90th anniversary of the Ulster Grand Prix, and it’s no secret that the event wouldn’t have come this far without the loyalty of our sponsors, and of course the fans who come to Dundrod every year, come rain or shine.”

Lidl Northern Ireland has 36 stores nationwide and just opened a new state of the art store in Portrush on the 5th of July. To celebrate the sponsorship of the Ulster Grand Prix, the retailer will run a Facebook competition for people to win daily prizes of £50 Lidl shopping vouchers as well as tickets to the event.
