Luke Pops In To See Old Friends
It’s not every day that a major celebrity drops in to the dealership, so customers and staff alike were both surprised and delighted in equal measure when “Luke the Nuke” Littler dropped in to see us last week.
Although Luke Is not sponsored by Lightcliffe currently and has gone on to secure sponsorship from some of the biggest companies in the world he hasn’t forgotten his friends from the days when he first started out, which is testament to his genial personality and the incredibly mature way in which he has handled global fame.
The event was shrouded in secrecy for security reasons, and it was interesting to see a number of pedestrians passing the dealership who had to double take when they spotted him in the car showroom.
During the visit Luke was happy to pose for photographs with all the lads from the workshop and the sales team (pictured), and also signed personal effects from lucky customers who just happened to be in the dealership on the day.
Luke also kindly agreed to do an interview for local community radio station, Cheshire’s Mix56, and signed some items to be auctioned for local charities including St Rocco’s hospice.
Considering the world championships are underway as we speak, and Luke’s nomination for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award, his decision to take time out of his busy schedule to support his local community was even more special.
So thanks again Luke for popping in to see us and we all agree that being new world champion and BBC Sports Personality would be a very fitting end to 2024 for such a fantastic guy!
