A new Volvo retailer in Sheffield is gearing up for a launch party with a twist, complete with athletic challenges hosted by British triathletes, Lucy Hall and Mark Buckingham.

Members of the local community are invited to the official launch event of the new Stoneacre Motor Group Volvo site on Tuesday 28 January from 6pm to 8pm, where they can enjoy Prosecco on arrival, before testing their sporting abilities in a GO TRI Challenge, complete with prestigious prizes for the winners.

In addition to the challenge, canapes and drinks will be served, accompanied by a live singer and a chance to put any sporting queries to the triathletes in an exclusive Q&A session. There will also be an opportunity to find out more about the future of electric vehicles – an area of growing importance to both business and retail customers.
