One Nine Four Six Marshals Association
I am reaching out on behalf of the OneNineFourSix (1946) Marshals Association, an independent, non-profit organisation dedicated to motorsport marshalling.
We are currently based at Mallory Park Circuit supporting East Midlands Racing Association (EMRA), many of our team also support other events across the UK and beyond. Our association is built on a strong sense of community and a shared passion for motorsport, with members from diverse backgrounds volunteering their time to support race events nationwide.
We are currently seeking sponsorship partners who share our enthusiasm for motorsport and recognise the invaluable role marshals play in ensuring the safety and success of race events. As a sponsor, your business will gain exposure to a dedicated motorsport audience while directly supporting the volunteers who make these events possible.
Our team comprises registered nurses, trained medics, and first responders, whose expertise greatly enhances our incident management capabilities and enables us to provide comprehensive first aid support. This collaborative approach effectively complements the race services offered by the venue and the dedicated efforts of local club officials.
Our professional reputation has earned us support from a wide variety of sponsors, from small local businesses, individuals to nationwide companies such as Sorrymate.com which were our title sponsor for 2 years.
Over the course of our six year existence, our association has experienced consistent growth in membership numbers.
This progress has been facilitated, in part, through valuable sponsorships that have enabled us to equip our members with essential personal protective equipment (PPE).
The provided PPE encompasses a wide range of items, including protective gloves, hats, caps, hi-vis vests, hi-vis jackets, and Proban (Fire Resistant) overalls.
Throughout the years, our members have consistently extended their support to numerous race clubs, including BEMSEE, Thundersport, CRMC, BHR, NEMRC, Isle of Man TT and MGP, Southern 100, and Irish Road Racing events. It is worth highlighting that during each race meeting, our members exemplify the highest standards of professionalism and demonstrate an unyielding commitment to their roles.
Our ultimate goal is to secure the future of motorsport for generations to come.
