New ambassadors at Morris Lubricants
THIS YEAR, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, MORRIS LUBRICANTS HAS APPOINTED A FEMALE RACING AMBASSADOR, REBECCA
JACKSON
ot only a racing driver, Rebecca is also a
television presenter, entrepreneur and
motoring journalist, who will be competing in
a Tesla Model S P100D in the FIA Electric Production
Car Series with her fi rst race being in France in
November.
“We see Rebecca as a fantastic ambassador for
Morris Lubricants, said marketing manager Gina Hinde.
“2018 is defi nitely going to be a strong year for
women, which will bring signifi cant step-changes
towards equality and we hope that motorsport will
follow this progression.”
Also joining the company as an ambassador this
month is well-known media personality, Guy Martin
who likes the fact that Morris is a British company.
“They sent me loads of samples – I didn’t know
how many products they had and it’s all good stuff.
Whether it’s on trucks, cars or bikes, even my tractor,
the quality is spot-on.”
Working with Morris will give Guy, who fi nds
‘trucks interesting as the technology is way ahead of
cars in some ways’, the possibility of ‘brewing’ his own
oil.
“I’d be up for that, I’m not an expert on oil, but
I’d be keen on learning!”
“We’re extremely excited to be working with Guy,
he is a great fi t for Morris Lubricants and we feel he will
be a powerful addition to the team,” added Gina.
