Son and mum Noel and Denise Ash have a TT 2015 souvenir that’s hard to beat – a Honda Fireblade superbike worth ?12,000!

Denise, from Colby, was the lucky winner out of millions of entries in a competition which was open to everyone using the Manx Telecom mobile network and held to celebrate the company’s role as one of Conor Cummin’s personal sponsors. The Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade is a road legal version of the bike which the Honda Racing star is riding this season. After being presented with the prize by Conor and Phil Crimp from Isle of Man Honda, Noel commented:

“I’ve watched the TT since I was a boy and often thought of getting a road bike – thanks to mum and Manx Telecom I’ve now got the most amazing reason to get my full bike licence!”

Everyone who used Manx Telecom’s mobile network between May 9 and June 12 was entered into the competition to win the Fireblade, and there were 10 other winners who received Sony Xperia M4 Aqua Smartphones and Smartbands. David Smith, Manx Telecom Marketing Director, commented:

“We love the TT and this fantastic competition was our way of sharing the excitement of the event with our customers from on and off-Island. The response to the competition was excellent, and it also reflected the global appeal of the TT. During the festival there were roaming customers using our mobile network from 68 countries represented by 155 individual mobile operators. This included visitors from Africa, Australia, North and South America, and across Europe. Congratulations to Denise, Noel and the 10 smartphone prize winners, and a big thank you on behalf of Manx Telecom to everyone who entered the competition.”
