This is the second year that the international tyre manufacturer has supported local
causes across the country.

Kumho Tyres’ marketing director, John Thrupp, said: “Helping communities and supporting
worthwhile causes is part of Kumho’s Korean heritage and emphasises the importance
of social responsibilities to companies.

“We’ve been thrilled with the way this campaign has grown this year, votes were 
incredibly close up to the last moment and we’d like to say well done to all the
causes which took part.”
