On the Road with Furrows

September 10, 2011

Shropshire motor dealers, Furrows, have put the Chamber in the driving seat with a new Kia Sportage - it’s the second year the company have provided a vehicle which has been specially sign-written to raise awareness of the Chamber and its patrons.

Richard Sheehan, managing director of Shropshire Chamber, said: “As a Chamber of Commerce, we are totally committed to the creation of business opportunities for the companies in this county.

“To do this we run over 150 events every year spread across the local area and the support from the Furrows Group for these events is pivotal.

“By providing a vehicle suitable to transport equipment and people to and from the events, Furrows are recognising the contribution the Chamber makes to the economy and are making sure the wealth-creating events remain successful. This really is a demonstration of partnership working for the benefit of everyone.”

Bill Cooper, managing director of Furrows, said: “As a Shropshire company for almost 100 years, we are proud to be associated with the Chamber and all its excellent initiatives to improve the business climate.

“We have a long history of supporting local projects and organisations, and we’re very proud to be working in partnership with such a high profile business network.”
