The importer and distributor of SsangYong cars, SsangYong Motor UK, has announced its agreement to sponsor The National, The Caravan Club’s premier event of the year.

This six day celebration of caravanning is open to all - not just Caravan Club members - and offers a range of activities for the young, old and families alike, including daytime events in the arena and live evening entertainment.

Timed to coincide with celebrations for The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, this year’s National is being staged at Eastnor Castle in Herefordshire, 1-6 June.

The agreement also extends to offering members the opportunity to win their own SsangYong Korando crossover as a competition prize.

“This is a perfect fit for SsangYong,” said Steve Gray, marketing and communications director of SsangYong Motor UK. “All three of our cars, the new Korando crossover, Rexton 4x4 and Rodius MPV make great tow cars, and represent a real value for money proposition for caravanners.

“We are very pleased to be teaming up with The Caravan Club on what we hope will be the first of many opportunities to partner the caravan community.”

Len Short, events manager from The Caravan Club says, “The SsangYong brand is well respected by caravanners, and the new Korando is another welcome addition to its range of great tow cars. We are therefore especially pleased to have SsangYong supporting this year’s event.”
