Stagecoach North East has backed Andy Connor, a 21-year-old kart racing driver from Northumberland with a deal worth £1,000.
Racing is notoriously expensive and therefore requires sponsorship deals to help with the costs of running in the championship.
When Andy’s dad Steve, who has worked with Stagecoach North East for their groundwork services for over 25 years, contacted the company to see if they could help, the firm was only too happy to get involved.
Steve Walker, Managing Director, Stagecoach North East, says: “We were delighted to offer this sponsorship deal and be able to help towards the running costs for Andy and his Dad, who has worked with us for many years. We wish him the best for the rest of the season and beyond.
”Andy’s talent and skill on the track after only two years are clear to see and we look forward to sharing some good success together. This is an exciting partnership and we hope it turns into a flourishing career for Andy, which we will be watching with interest.”
