THE world famous Tiptree jam makers are sponsoring Essex's lifesaving air ambulance – to the tune of £30,000.
The helicopter, which costs £250,000 a month to keep flying, touched down at the Wilkin and Sons factory in Tiptree on Friday to celebrate the new partnership.
The air ambulance will now display two new badges, each with the Tiptree logo as part of the £30,000 three-year sponsorship deal.
Ian Thurgood, Joint Managing Director at Wilkin and Sons, said: "We are fortunate to be able to support the Essex Air Ambulance service.
"Its dedicated team of professionals deliver valuable aid across the whole county, 365 days a year."
Essex Air Ambulance relies on the support of local businesses to help raise funds and keep the helicopter flying.
