Councillor Geoff Almond, the Mayor of St. Helens, visited Halewood Operations earlier today to see the borough’s new Mayoral Range Rover Evoque being built on the production line. The Firenze Red Range Rover Evoque SD4 Prestige has been purchased to carry out mayoral duties across the borough.
Cllr. Almond said, "I am delighted that the council is purchasing a Range Rover Evoque designed, engineered and manufactured in the Liverpool City Region. It’s important that we continue to support the engineering skills of local companies. The Halewood plant has a reputation for building world-class vehicles.
“The council is proud to support Jaguar Land Rover with a Mayoral car which showcases the plant as an example of manufacturing success in the region. The Range Rover Evoque has built an excellent reputation for design, engineering and performance and I am looking forward to travelling in the car as I fulfill my mayoral duties. With its low emissions and efficient engine, it will also deliver on environmental credentials – another vital consideration within the Liverpool City Region.”
Richard Else, Operations Director at Halewood, added, "The Range Rover Evoque has been extremely popular since it was launched last year and has won more than 110 awards to date. I am pleased that St Helens Council has chosen an Evoque for the Mayor’s official duties, which was built with passion and pride on Merseyside".
