Supacat exhibited a Jackal vehicle in the House of Lords on Thursday 8th July in support of the Motorsport Industry Association (MIA) summer event. During the event, the MoD used the Jackal for a photo shoot with Defence Minister Lord Astor of Hever to support a press release relating to the MIA’s Motorsport to Defence initiative. Supacat is a member of the MIA and has close links with the industry recognising the innovation, agility and performance on offer from companies working in this specialist sector. Supacat now has over 12 MIA member companies within the supply chain many of whom have designed state of the art components for the exciting new SPV400 vehicle. Supacat’s Sales and Marketing Manager, Jamie Clarke said “we are delighted to be in the House of Lords today supporting this prestigious event. Like those in the motorsport industry, Supacat’s products are high performance and are relied upon by the customer to be delivered quickly and importantly, on time. The motorsport industry has a lot to offer when measured against these qualities which is why we use so many suppliers from this sector. As an example, the SPV400 is an all-new, all-British design with several key components coming from the motorsport industry. The capability delivered by these suppliers contributes towards the supreme and unprecedented levels of protection and mobility on offer to the MoD in the SPV400 LPPV. We are proud to be associated with the MIA and are pleased to be members despite operating primarily outside of the direct motorsport sector”.
