A LEADING Hampshire motor dealership is backing the county cricket team.

The Ageas Bowl has announced Peter Cooper Motor Group as the new Executive Club Sponsor for the next two years.

The agreement will see the VW dealership sponsor the ground’s exclusive matchday Members’ Club located in the Robin Smith Suite.

Peter Cooper already provides vehicle support to senior squad member Jimmy Adams, Head Coach Dale Benkenstein and Hampshire’s overseas players.

Ageas Bowl commercial director, Stuart Robertson said: “The support from Peter Cooper over the years has been hugely valuable to us and we are delighted to have them on board as the sponsor of our exclusive membership offering.”

Peter Cooper Motor Group managing director Darren Cooper said: “We look to invest in our community and look forward to welcoming members and guests at the Executive Club and at our showrooms where we will always guarantee to bowl you over with our usual excellent service. This should also be a great platform to launch our new business, Prestige Cars by Peter Cooper.”

Peter Cooper Motor Group recently relocated their Volkswagen site at Hedge End to new premises just a quarter of a mile away in Flanders Road.

Their old ‘Cooper’s Roundabout’ site now promotes ‘Prestige Cars by Peter Cooper’, offering Leasing and Contract Hire, as well as pre-owned vehicles for brands such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar, Porsche, Range Rover and alike.
