Skoda UK and Preston Motors provided us with two additional Skoda Octavias during the Olympic and Paralympic Games, temporarily increasing the number of vehicles in our fleet to eight. The cars would enable us to get extra teams to the scene in case of a major incident and they served as a back-up for our existing vehicles.

Paul Smith, Helipad & Driver Standards Manager, said: “We appreciate the additional support that Skoda UK and Preston Motors provided during the Olympic Games. The company has been our long term partner, helping us continue our life-saving work.”
