New vehicle sponsor for Brighton Marathon

“Being able to work with a brand like Rossetts and its fleet of Mercedes-Benz vehicles is a perfect fit for us as organisers of the Brighton Marathon,” said Race Director Tim Hutchings.

“We have tried since our inaugural race, to establish a perception of high quality delivery on every aspect of the event and the reputation of Mercedes-Benz vehicles for reliability and their ability to get the job done is second to none.

“Of course that work ethic resonates with our entrants too; as would-be marathon runners, getting the work done, irrespective of conditions, is the only sure way of having a great experience here in Brighton on April 14.”

In an agreement that will last for two years, Rossetts Commercials will supply the exciting new Citan as lead vehicle for the race as well as the Vito series vans for use during race week.

Rossetts Commercials sells and supports the award-winning range of Mercedes-Benz vans and trucks, as well as popular Fuso Canter light trucks. It has headquarters in Worthing and other dealerships in Eastbourne and Crawley.

Van Sales Manager Mike Sanders declared: “At Rossetts we take pride in playing an active role in the community we serve, so we’re delighted to be able to support a high-profile local event like the Brighton Marathon.

“It will also give us a great opportunity to present the all-new Mercedes-Benz Citan – the smallest van yet to wear a three-pointed star – and established Vito van ranges. Both models have strong appeal not only to business users, but also to those seeking a stylish but spacious and practical vehicle for leisure use.”

The Brighton Marathon takes place on Sunday 14 April.
