Northern Ireland charity, K9 Search and Rescue NI has expressed ’massive thanks’ to Ballymena business Tommy Towbar for their continued support after supplying and fitting a tow bar to one of the team rescue vehicles this week.


K9 Search and Rescue Team uses qualified NASDU level 3 air scenting Search Dogs & Victim Recovery Dogs. The team searches for vulnerable missing people using K9's at the request and in partnership with HM Coastguard and families.



This is the second top quality tow bar kit Tommy has fitted to the rescue vehicles, without any charge.

Ryan Gray, K9 Search and Rescue NI, said:


“We are very grateful to Tommy for once again supplying and fitting a tow bar to one of our rescue vehicles, completely free of charge.


“Not only did the tow bar get fitted, but K9’s Max and Chase received their first Christmas presents!”



Having a tow bar is essential for the K9 Search and Rescue team for towing the search boat, utilised when searching for victims that may be below the surface of the water.


Tommy Towbar, based at 6 Warden Street, in Ballymena, provides a professional and friendly service, and supplies and fits a range of quality products including: tow bars, trailers, bicycle carriers, parking sensors, reversing cameras. Car and commercial ECU remapping, MOT preparation, servicing, and diagnostics also available.


Commenting on his ongoing support for the viral K9 Search and Rescue charity, Tommy said:


“We are very happy to support K9 Search and Rescue. We know the important job the team do in very difficult and dangerous situations. We are very happy to help, and support in any way possible.”



Ryan concluded:


“If you need a tow bar fitted, please give Tommy a call. Take it from us, you won’t be disappointed with the work, and by supporting Tommy, you’ll also be supporting us.

“Thank you again Tommy!”
