KGM Motors UK is delighted to announce its appointment as Official Passenger Vehicle Partner to the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows. This prestigious partnership aligns KGM Motors UK with one of the UK’s most iconic and globally recognised symbols of excellence.
As part of the agreement, KGM Motors UK will supply a fleet of award-winning Rexton SUVs, complemented by the all-new Actyon Hybrid, to support the Red Arrows’ extensive programme of more than 60-displays each year. The vehicles will facilitate the seamless movement of personnel, equipment and essential kit between locations, underpinning the team’s ability to represent the Royal Air Force with precision, agility and excellence across the UK and further afield.
A true British institution, the Red Arrows have captivated audiences since 1965 and remain a highlight of the summer events calendar. Renowned for their trademark formation manoeuvres and world-class precision flying, the team serves as the public face of the Royal Air Force—promoting the best of British aviation at major national occasions, community airshows and international events, while also supporting Armed Forces recruitment.
Squadron Leader Doug Smith, the Red Arrows Chief of Staff, said: “Our display season involves significant planning and constant movement, and reliable vehicles play an important part in keeping the team on schedule. We are pleased to welcome KGM Motors UK as our Official Vehicle Partner and look forward to working together across our busy programme of events.”
Based at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire, the team comprises highly skilled pilots, engineers and support staff with frontline operational experience. Flying the distinctive Hawk fast-jet, the Red Arrows inspire millions of people every year through dynamic displays, colourful flypasts and ground engagement events.
Kevin Griffin, Managing Director at KGM Motors UK, added: “The Red Arrows represent excellence, precision and British capability, and we are proud to support them as Official Vehicle Partner. Supplying a fleet of Rexton SUVs and the all-new Actyon Hybrid will help the team meet the demands of a 60-plus show calendar, and we look forward to seeing our vehicles play a vital role behind the scenes as the Red Arrows inspire audiences at home and overseas.”
