Not for Publication: COVID-19 latest update from the Mazda UK Press Office

With the threat of COVID-19 continuing to rise in the UK and the government now advising against all but essential travel, Mazda UK has to regrettably suspend press fleet operations. To ensure you and our delivery staff are protected, we will be abiding by the current stay at home recommendations. Those of you who currently have a press car it will be staying with you and those of you with a booking in the next three weeks, please contact Martine Varrall so that we can reschedule for the future.

We will of course be looking to restart press fleet operations as soon as government advice suggests this is appropriate. Initially we plan to suspend press fleet operations for three weeks and will continue to monitor the evolving situation.

Outside of press fleet, the Mazda UK Press Office is very much open and working remotely. We are here to assist you, and should you have any ideas for features or news stories please let us know. We will be contacting you with our ideas and suggestions for Mazda stories as we all work to try to minimise the disruption caused by the virus.

Our office phones will be diverted to our mobiles and we will continue to be on email.  When working from home you can go a little stir crazy, so even if just for a chat our mobile numbers are below. We look forward to helping you create stories and talking to you in the coming weeks.
