TTI - How We Give Back
TTI and its associated companies, TTI Marine Renewables and TTI Testing Ltd, have been supporting many local Charities and Sponsorships for over 10 years.
Harvey Dowler - Budding Race Star
TTI is delighted to be supporting budding race star Harvey Dowler in the next stages of his Go Kart racing career and who knows for what may come (remember Lewis Hamilton and many other leading race drivers started out the same way!).
Harvey is 10 years old and is from the Westham/Pevensey area close to Eastbourne. He started racing Go Karts just two years ago and last season raced the Buckmore Park championship, finishing and excellent 5th in the ‘Pro Class’.
This year Harvey has taken a big step up and is now racing nationally in the ‘Club 100’ series. He started the season well and has already taken his 1st race win in the 2nd round at Glan Y Gors, in North Wales.
TTI will be following Harvey’s progress with great interest and wish him very best of luck for the rest of the season and beyond!
