Prestwick construction firm Ashleigh confirmed as key airshow sponsor
South Ayrshire Council has confirmed the backing of the major local firm for the event once again this year.
Council chiefs say they are "delighted" to welcome back a major Prestwick construction firm as a key sponsor for this year's International Ayr Show – Festival of Flight.
Ashleigh (Scotland) Limited returns for the third year in a row to support the highly anticipated event.
The airshow drew impressive crowds to Ayr's shorefront last year with over 260,000 visitors in attendance across the weekend. This success has seen Ashleigh take the opportunity to lend their support once again.
This year's show will take place at Ayr shorefront on Friday, September 5 and Saturday, September 6 with a jam-packed line-up of thrilling aerial displays as well as fun for the whole family at the Festival Village on the Low Green.
Council leader, Brian Connolly, said: "It's a pleasure to welcome back Ashleigh (Scotland) Limited as a major sponsor for the airshow. The festival has gone from strength to strength in the past two years, and we're excited to deliver another superb show this September. It's great to have support again from a local company."
Tourism spokesman, and depute council leader, Alec Clark said: "Sponsorship has been a key element in the success of our airshow in the previous two years. We're pleased to be working with Ashleigh once again to help deliver a fantastic event that will draw in crowds both from the local area and across the UK."
Ashleigh Managing Director, Euan Clark, said: "This will be our third year as principal sponsor, and we are delighted to continue that support to this amazing event. The Festival of Flight is one of the biggest annual attractions in South Ayrshire and, as a locally based company, gives us the opportunity to get involved and celebrate the local economy.
"We are especially excited this year with the return of the Red Arrows and looking forward to another fantastic occasion, with the Ashleigh banners on prominent display!"
