We are delighted to announce the new and exciting partnership between INEOS Automotive and the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). As the official vehicle partner of the RNLI, INEOS Automotive will provide support to the charity in their crucial mission of saving lives at sea for the next five years. This collaboration will involve the deployment of 20 Grenadier 4×4 vehicles at specific locations in the UK and Republic of Ireland to assist the RNLI’s volunteer lifesavers in their rescue operations.
The INEOS Grenadier, with its exceptional off-road and on-road driving capabilities, will play a vital role in positioning, launching, and recovering the RNLI’s D-class lifeboats at selected stations. Its ruggedness and durability make it an ideal addition to the RNLI’s fleet, designed to operate effectively in demanding and time-critical situations.
Jamie Chestnutt, RNLI Director for Engineering and Supply, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, emphasizing how INEOS’s ‘Built for More’ ethos aligns with the lifesaving work of the RNLI and its volunteers. This support from INEOS Automotive is crucial in enabling the RNLI to continue its essential operations and provide volunteers with the best equipment available, ensuring the organization’s longevity and success for years to come.
CEO of INEOS Automotive, Lynn Calder, also expressed her pride in supporting the RNLI, acknowledging the charity’s remarkable work in conducting round-the-clock life-saving missions in challenging conditions. The endorsement of the Grenadier for such vital frontline work speaks volumes about its ability to meet rigorous standards and support the RNLI’s crucial operations.
In addition to supplying the RNLI with the Grenadier vehicles, the partnership will involve INEOS Automotive assisting the charity in disseminating essential water safety messages to new audiences. Furthermore, the collaboration will explore the development of future technologies to sustain the RNLI’s lifesaving efforts for the long term.
This partnership symbolizes a strong alliance between the automotive industry and a charitable organization, underscoring the shared commitment to saving lives and promoting safety at sea. INEOS Automotive’s support will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the RNLI’s operations, reinforcing their ability to carry out their lifesaving work effectively.
The partnership between INEOS Automotive and the RNLI represents a significant step towards upholding the safety and well-being of individuals at sea, and it is a testament to the importance of collaboration between industries and charitable organizations in creating a positive impact on society. We eagerly anticipate witnessing the positive outcomes of this impactful partnership in the years to come.
