Win an unforgettable racing experience and a full set of winter tyres at FTA’s Transport Manager
Monday 19 September 2011
Delegates at the Freight Transport Association’s Transport Manager seminar series will not just come away with all the latest knowledge they need for the year ahead, but a chance to win some great prizes courtesy of Goodyear and Shell.
All visitors to the Shell stand during the Transport Manager series will be entered into a grand prize draw to win an amazing Grand Prix hospitality day for two. In addition to this, each venue will have up for grabs a goody bag containing a selection of Ferrari-branded items as well as five copies of the FTA’s Drivers’ Handbook and two copies of its Guide to Managing Drivers to share around the office.
Goodyear will be preparing people for winter by giving away branded fleeces and 3-in-1 winter jackets at each event in a prize draw. One of the themes of Transport Manager is ‘preparation for winter’, and with that in mind the leading tyre manufacturer will also be giving away a full set of cold weather tyres which give better performance in conditions below 7 degrees, for the car of one lucky Grand Prize winner.
