A BUSINESSMAN from Tenbury is reaping the benefits of sponsoring a quad-bike rider.

Neil Martin had a new Yamaha YFM708 Grizzly at the beginning of this year from local Yamaha main agent, Nomark Equip.

He has been competing in the Southwest Enduro championship over the season and has become the 2016 Champion.

Next year he will be entering the British Lights championship and once again the Yamaha will be his chosen machine.

“Neil is an amazing rider and a very popular one at that with all his competitors,” said Mark Yarnold.

“In previous years he has won “Rider of the Year".

“This is awarded not just for the results but for the rider’s whole approach to the sport, how they treat their fellow competitors and the overall contribution they make.

“The new Grizzly is an incredible bike, proving popular with many customers who want to use it for work or play.

“It’s a pleasure to have supported Neil over the last 12 months and we look forward to supporting him next year in the British Lights.”
