In addition to the Amarok this year we have been supplied with a number of Caddy 4 Motions which will give us additional event support.” Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Brand Director, Alan Bateson, added: “We are delighted to be returning once again with a sponsorship deal at this year’s National Ploughing Championships.
