We recently donated the use of four variable message signs plus a van and driver to a local initiative to publicise the local hospital, the Whitworth Hospital which was due to have a vital ward closed. The signs were used to advertise the event and advise road users of the protest march, and the vehicle was used to transport a hospital bed to around the local area to advertise our plight.
We are also keen to show our support for a number of local sports teams and athletes, and as such, are the current sponsors of Matlock Town FC. Fans of the Gladiators will have noticed our logo on the front of their shirts, and we’re also happy to have donated a VMSC unit which is situated in the ground, as well as a fixed VMSA unit on the outside of the ground, used to send messages of support to the team, as well as display useful match day information to fans from all sides.
Alongside sponsoring Matlock Town FC, MVIS are proud to sponsor boxing athlete Karl ‘Tinker’ Johnston of Matlock’s Original Jesters club. Karl, a dedicated fighter, who fought his way to become the new professional European K1 Champion back in 2016, is sponsored and represented by MVIS on all of his training kit. Karl will be defending his title on the 1st April 2017, MVIS and our sister company Bartco UK have sponsored him for this event.
Back in 2015, we were also named the sponsor of the World Championship race team, Mickel Motorsport. Each year, MVIS supplies high visibility solar powered variable message signs (VMS) to the UK race paddocks where the Mickel Motorsport team will complete, as well as having MVIS branding on their vehicles. The team at MVIS are delighted to sponsor the 2015 UK Legends National Champions, and thoroughly enjoy attending races to offer continued support to the Mickel team.
