Leyland Trade has once again turned heads across the British Touring Car Championship grid after two lucky ladies became honorary Leyland Lovelies for the final weekend of the season at Brands Hatch. Amanda Wheel and Louise Mayhew emerged triumphantly from the ‘Be A Leyland Lovely For The Day’ competition, seeing off the challenge of four other aspiring Lovelies to take their places alongside regulars Tina and Sophie as official grid girls for Leyland-sponsored BTCC team Airwaves BMW. The girls not only had the opportunity to strut their stuff in front of thousands of BTCC fans, but also got to rub shoulders with the stars, namely Ben Collins – formerly known as ‘The Stig’ – who was racing for Airwaves BMW over the course of the weekend. Leyland Brand Manager, Nicki Hickman, said: “The competition attracted a huge number of entries so it is testament to Amanda and Louise that they came out on top. Both girls fitted into the role of a Leyland Lovely seamlessly and they were a credit to both the brand and themselves throughout the weekend!”

African Sun Shines for Leyland

The colour expertise of leading paint brand Leyland Trade has helped transform a previously bare exhibition space in London into a vibrant corner of Africa. Publishers Trolley Books needed to give the Shoreditch space an innovative and colourful makeover to support the launch and three-week exhibition of its successful new book Gentlemen of Bacongo, which is a celebration of a group of Congolese men called Sapeurs, who have a penchant for elegant attire brought to life by striking colours. The men’s vibrant clothes are in direct contrast to their living conditions and their approach acted as the inspiration behind fashion icon Paul Smith's latest collection. After being struck by Leyland's eye-catching Mad About Colour campaign in recent months, Trolley Books wasted little time in asking the creative paint brand to give the exhibition space a transformation to match the Sapeurs' outfits…and Leyland didn't disappoint! Making the most of imaginative colours from its range, such as Rave, Pure Passion and Kiwi, Leyland helped create a series of stunning backdrops bursting with colour to help bring the best out of an array of the book’s most visually arresting images.
