Certa to fuel this year's Ploughing as all roads lead to Laois this September

The National Ploughing Association (NPA) has announced that Certa is returning as the official fuel sponsor for this year’s National Ploughing Championships and European Vintage Contest.

Celebrating the return of this successful partnership, over one hundred promotional road sign billboards have been installed at key locations throughout the country ahead of the event which takes place in Ratheniska, Co Laois on September 17th, 18th & 19th.

To be in with a chance to win a pair of complimentary tickets to this year’s event simply take a photo of a sign in your locality and share on NPA/Certa socials (*strictly when safe to do so).

At the Certa/#Ploughing2024 launch NPA Managing Director Anna May McHugh spoke of how she was looking forward to working with Certa again in the run up to and during this year’s Championships.

The NPA MD said “I am delighted that Certa are on board again this year as the official fuel sponsorship partner of the largest outdoor event in Europe with over 250,000 visitors expected throughout the 3 days.

Certa will supply all of the event fuel requirements for the three days including fuelling all the generators for powering the site, the lighting towers that extend out to a radius of over 30 km from the main site, all the event machinery, upwards of 350 competitors tractors and 26 Competitors from all over Europe in the Vintage Competition.

Certa Managing Director Orla Stevens said “The National Ploughing Championships is renowned as the largest outdoor event in Ireland. Certa is proud of the role we play in supporting the organisers to achieve their sustainability goals and to reduce the event’s carbon footprint through the use of HVO as an alternative to diesel.”

Over the course of the three-day event, Certa will showcase their energy solutions for customers including solar, HVO, Lubricants and other liquid fuels. As sponsors of the Ireland Women’s cricket team, the Certa stand will feature a mini cricket pitch and will also offer visitors the opportunity to meet with See Change and Men’s Sheds charities.
