TWO top notch rally cars will be among the main attractions when the third Worcestershire Festival of Business takes place on Friday, September 16.

A celebration of Worcestershire enterprise, the event will be held along Worcester High Street and in the Cathedral between 9am and 4pm.

Taking part will be SW&A Accountants of Ball Mill Top Business Park, near Hallow, who will be exhibiting the Veranti-Lamberti Championship winning rally car, which took part in the 2015 Great European Rally, together with one of its drivers, the accountancy firm's managing director Neil Sysum. The stand will also host the BRSCC Mazda MX-5 2016 Season car, accompanied by its driver Martyn Canning.

Mr Sysum said: "It was great to be invited to display and even more amazing to be hailed as two local sporting icons by the event organisers and we encourage people to come and take a look at the cars on display. The 2015 European Rally car has had a pretty amazing new paint job to be unveiled and the BRSCC car is running a competition to give people the chance to enjoy the thrills and exhilaration motor racing can bring.

"SW&A is proud to support Martyn, who hails from Evesham, in this year’s campaign and are delighted he can join us at this week’s showcase of all that is wonderful about Worcestershire. There is another great reason to support us and the other exhibitors at the event, which is organised by the social enterprise behind Worcestershire Hour on Twitter."

All money raised will go towards a 14 week entrepreneurial training programme to teach local disadvantaged young people the knowledge and skills needed to set up their own businesses.
