As an official sponsor, Goodyear Farm Tires will be sponsoring the George Stephenson Exhibition Hall, a central attraction of the event. This hall will host various themed exhibits, including the prestigious Concours d’Elegance display, and will be the site of a special Remembrance Service on Sunday.
The show will also attempt a world record for the largest gathering of Massey Ferguson 135 tractors, adding to the excitement of the weekend.
Natalie Dukes, Marketing Manager for Goodyear Farm Tires, expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “We are extremely proud of our association with vintage tractors which still remains strong today and operates alongside our present-day tyre offering, driven by the Low Sidewall Technology innovation.”
Dukes also highlighted the deep connection between Goodyear Farm Tires and vintage tractor owners. “For many owners of vintage tractors, Goodyear Farm Tires - with the famous diamond pattern - remain truly prized possessions so to be a part of this special weekend is something we are excited about.”
Goodyear Farm Tires’ products will be featured prominently at the event, thanks to their exclusive vintage distributor in the UK, the British Rubber Company. Attendees can expect to see the company’s main vintage tyre range, which includes the Super Rib, Sure Grip All Service, and Traction Sure Grip, on display at the stand.
The Newark Vintage Tractor and Heritage Show is organised by the Newark and Nottinghamshire Agricultural Society, with support from the Nottinghamshire branch of the National Vintage Tractor and Engine Club. Francesca Hayes, Trade and Sponsorship Officer at Newark Showground, shared her excitement about the ongoing collaboration with Goodyear Farm Tires: “We are delighted to welcome Goodyear Farm Tires back as a prime sponsor of the George Stephenson Exhibition Hall which will showcase exhibits from some of our 2024 themed classes, the Concours d’Elegance display and a moving service on Remembrance Sunday.”
Hayes also noted Goodyear Farm Tires' long-standing influence in the agricultural market, saying, “Goodyear Farm Tires has been a major part of the agricultural market for more than a century and its vintage range is a true favourite with many enthusiasts so we are delighted to have such a prestigious brand associated with the show.”
