SsangYong Motors Ireland were the official vehicle sponsors of the Golden Shears World Sheep Shearing Contest which took place in Gorey, Co. Wexford recently.

VIP Guests from all over the world were transported in the Korando Sports 4x4 and media were escorted in the Rexton W 4x4.

Commented Sinead Cashin, Head of PR at the event, “We needed vehicles that were spacious enough to transport VIP guests plus their luggage and ones that were reliable enough to combat the heavy weather. Selectable 4x4 was a must. The rain certainly made an appearance and the SsangYong ensured everything ran like clockwork.”

Joe Harris, CEO SsangYong Motors Ireland said, “We were delighted to be chosen as official vehicle providers for this event. The farming community is a perfect fit for our new range of 4x4s and it was a great chance to demonstrate the versatility of the vehicles.”

The World Sheep Shearing Championships was visited by an estimated 32,000 visitors for duration of successful Gorey event. Rowland Smith from New Zealand claimed the ultimate prize from this four-day event in Gorey.
