DUNTON, UK – Visit any popular beach in the UK now and the chances are you’ll see a Ford Ranger on patrol with the Royal National Lifeboat Institute. That’s because Ford is the official vehicle supplier to RNLI Lifeguards, and now the company has extended its partnership with this life-saving charity.
Ford has partnered with the RNLI for six years and is now rolling out new and updated Ford Ranger vehicles across RNLI Lifeguarded beaches.
RNLI lifeguards have been protecting beaches since 2001 and now patrol 249 across the UK and Channel Islands, from Easter and throughout the Summer, providing first aid and helping those who get in trouble in the water – however, their primary focus is on prevention by helping stop accidents before they happen.
“We are delighted to continue and expand our role in supporting RNLI Lifeguards, and the outstanding work they do” said Mandy Dean, Commercial Vehicle Director, Ford of Britain and Ireland. “Seeing new Ford Rangers being deployed across select UK beaches shows the all-round dependability of the vehicle to meet the requirements of the RNLI Lifeguard role.”
