Number's Up for Mayor's Car
Cherished car number plate supplier New Reg has shown its support for South Ribble Borough Council by providing the ultimate accessory for the mayoral car.
The South Ribble mayoral car will now carry the plate ‘S11 RBC’ after Preston-based New Reg agreed to loan the exclusive number plate for civic occasions.
The former Mayor of South Ribble, Councillor Matthew Tomlinson, was the first to sample the new number plate in his last week of civic duty. He said,
“Thank you to New Reg for their kind gesture. The S11 RBC plate is immediately identifiable. And promoting awareness of the borough has been an important part of the Mayor’s role - so the number plate will help us greatly.”
New Reg has revealed that South Ribble Borough Council is not alone - car number plates featuring organisation names and professions are increasingly common.
The New Reg database includes 40 million number plates from as little as £69 and currently includes ‘C4 SHH’ perfect for financiers or accountants, ‘TEE 7H’ and ‘DOC 7OR’ for the medical professions; and, even ‘W4 GER’ for a bookmaker.
New Reg Marketing manager said,
“We are pleased we could help and the number plate looks great on the Mayor’s car. With almost 40 million number plates currently available at New Reg it was fairly straight forward to find the unique series of letters or numbers for the Mayor’s number plate.
“The registration process was quick and straight forward – as with all our customers New Reg took care of everything.”
