Six brands from Yorkshire, including Slingsby Gin producer Spirit of Harrogate, Sheffield-based Bullion Chocolate, winemaker Laurel Vines and Yorkshire Tea, have joined the British car manufacturer in its Le Mans debut.
Clare Whitaker, marketing director at Spirit of Harrogate, said: “We are proud to be involved with another passionate local business who are flying the flag for Yorkshire.”

Alex Balchin, director at Wold Top Brewery, said: “Manufacturing, whether it be cars or beer, is something that we consider of great importance, and being able to showcase this, together with the Yorkshire brand, is a brilliant opportunity and we’re grateful to Ginetta for choosing us to work with.”
