Land Rover renews title sponsorship of Burghley Horse Trials

Land Rover has announced an extension to its title sponsorship of Burghley Horse Trials, which will see the partnership through to the end of 2017.

The marque's association with the world-renowned eventing competition has been established for many years, Land Rover having been the official vehicle supplier since the early 90s and becoming title sponsor in 2005.

Commenting on the contract renewal, Elizabeth Inman, event director, said: "Land Rover has been a loyal and active investor in our event and sport since 2005 and I am delighted that, with Land Rover's renewed investment, we can continue to deliver a leading world class event every year".

Jeremy Hicks, managing director, Jaguar Land Rover UK, said: "We are very pleased to be continuing our long standing partnership with Burghley Horse Trials. Our commitment to equestrian sport is well established and will certainly continue into the future as Land Rover enhances its range of family suited vehicles, bringing versatility and capability to customers and competitors alike".

During its nine year sponsorship of The Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials, Land Rover has become synonymous with the prestigious event. The company's commitment to Burghley Horse Trials sees over sixty of its vehicles supplied to officials for use during the competition.

In the heart of the showground, Land Rover is showcased with a striking vehicle display and a testing off-road demonstration area giving customers a chance to sample the all-terrain capability with Land Rover Experience instruction.

The Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials will take place between 4th and 7th September, 2014.
