Marking their twelfth year of support, John M Paterson Ltd will continue as sponsor of Saturday’s second Supertwin/Sportbike race during the 2026 Briggs Equipment North West 200.

Company principals, John and Karen Paterson, are delighted to be returning to the north coast for this year’s race week on May 4-9.

‘Our business motto has always been ‘Second to none!’ Karen says.

‘That has also been our experience of standing beside the grid at the Briggs Equipment North West 200 as the bikes blast off for the start of a race. There is no better place to be!”

‘Jock and Karen have become part of the fabric of the NW200.’ Race Director, Mervyn Whyte says.

‘Alongside their financial support, they bring enthusiasm and passion to the event and we are very grateful for their continued support.’

Based in South Ayrshire, Scotland, John and Karen established the family run Plant and Machinery self drive hire business in 1995. With nearly 300 machines available for hire under Scottish Plant Owner Association conditions, the company specialises in Tracked Hiabs and Tracked Mewps.

As one of the largest hire companies in Ayrshire, Jock and Karen aim to keep their customers happy by offering them a service of the highest standard. Operating their own transport within the business, John M Paterson can also offer prompt delivery of hire machines to most areas of the U.K. and Ireland. They currently have machinery on hire all over the U.K, offering both long and short term hire to their customers at special rates for long term hires.

Jock and Karen’s subsidiary company, ‘Blawearie Tyres & Tracks’ also provides tyre and track fitting locally.

With a friendly and efficient staff, they ensure John M Paterson Ltd is an established and trusted name in the U.K and Ireland with a reputation for an efficient, courteous and professional service for their many long standing and repeat customers.
