Predominantly dealing in car sales, Right Cars fit the Barum brand to their vehicles and has been a customer for over ten years. Workshop manager Andrew Smith, accepted the prizes on behalf of his team of twelve staff members.

Staff member, Laurence Challinor received the prize from Malcolm Roberts, business development manager for Viking International and commented “We are over the moon to have received this prize as a reward for our business.”

Ashfield Tyre Services from Luton was the final winner for Category C.

Owner Tim Raynor was delighted to accept the Scalextric prize from business development manager for Viking International, Mike Singleton. “Barum is a fantastic, high quality range with excellent continuity of supply and keen pricing which allows us to sell Barum Tyres on with confidence,” commented Tim.
