This collaboration between the two will also raise money for Tusk, a wildlife conservation charity close to Longleat’s heart.
David George, MINI UK Director for UK & Ireland, said :
“We are all animal-lovers in the MINI team so we’re really excited to be partnering with Longleat, a brand that shares our core values and adventurous spirit. The MINI Countryman Plug-In Hybrid is both spacious and versatile; the perfect fit to enable Longleat to carry out the important work they do, whilst supporting their future sustainability ambitions. Hopefully the animals will approve too!”
Also commenting on the partnership, Shaun Steel, Commercial Director at Longleat, says :
“As the first Safari Park created outside of Africa, Longleat has always led the way in creating magical animal encounters for families, with conservation and animal welfare also key in our values.
We’re thrilled to be partnering with MINI, a brand that’s synonymous with adventure and bringing a smile to people’s faces.
The new fleet of MINI Countryman Plug-In Hybrids are important for our on-site work with the animals and off-site educational outreach, as well as fitting-in with our sustainability ambitions; they are the perfect addition to our pack!”
