Croxdale Drives Community Engagement at Durham Cricket's Clay Shoot Event

Premium Vehicle Displays, Local Partnerships & Ongoing Club Support

As proud partners of Durham Cricket, Croxdale Motor Group played a key role in this year’s Corporate Clay Shoot Day at Thornley Hall Farm, using the event to spotlight our flagship vehicles and strengthen community ties.

Ahead of the early 9:30am arrival of guests, our dedicated Croxdale team delivered and prepared a striking trio of vehicles the night before, ensuring every model was spotless, branded, and display-ready to represent the dealership with pride.

Catch the action

On Display: The Best of Our Brand Portfolio

Visitors to the event were greeted by a curated lineup of standout models from our premium brand collection:

DS 7 – elegant and technologically advanced
Alfa Romeo Giulia – a driver’s car with Italian flair
Jeep Wrangler – rugged, bold, and built for adventure

These vehicles weren’t just for show, they featured interactive QR codes, allowing attendees to scan for more information, explore offers, and book a test drive directly from their phones. Positioned at both the top of the field near the shooting stands and at the event reception entrance, the displays brought our showroom experience directly to the heart of the action.

A Showcase of Croxdale’s Commitment

This appearance forms part of our wider sponsorship partnership with Durham Cricket Club, where Croxdale continues to support the Club’s business events and community activations. Our involvement goes beyond vehicle displays, it’s about building real connections with local businesses and sports supporters across the region.

Our skilled preparation team ensured everything from logistics to presentation was handled in-house, giving attendees a first-class introduction to the Croxdale experience.

“It’s important for us to not only show up, but to show up well,” said a Graham Elliott, General Sales Manager. “This partnership reflects our long-standing commitment to the Durham community, and we’re excited to continue supporting the Club throughout the year.”

Financial Disclosure

Croxdale Service Station Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010).

Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Croxdale Service Station Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders will pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
