Fast growing West Cumbrian scaffolding firm Lakeland Scaffolding, of Workington, have decided to support the motorsport ambitions of up and coming young rally driver, Richard Barnard, 23, from Cockermouth.

Richard is contesting the Association of North West Car Clubs Stage Rally Championship and is currently lying well inside the top 10 overall category and leading the Young (Under 25) Drivers class.

He competes in his Subaru Impreza which is prepared in Yorkshire by RDR Motorsport and is co-driven by his father, Andy Barnard. Both of the crew are members of the West Cumbria Motorsport Club which is in itself a member of the North West Association.
