CAR RETAILER SUPPORTS LOCAL BEAUTY QUEEN

A Canterbury car retailer is supporting a Miss European hopeful in her bid win the beauty pageant title.

Hayley White from Shepherdswell is one of nine Miss Team England finalists who will go on to represent the UK for the European crown.

EuroCanterbury Volkswagen has helped fund the 18-year-old beauty queen’s quest and supplied a Volkswagen Eos for her recent appearance at the family fun, Deal, Walmer and Kingsdown Carnival parade.

Hayley, who studies Law, Media and English at Astor College, Kent, had to beat a number of other girls in regional heats to become a finalist.

As well as her looks, Hayley will be judged on personality, integrity and confidence at the final held in Belgium in October.

She said: “It’s fantastic to be a finalist and I’m very grateful to EuroCanterbury for all their support

“I’m a little bit nervous as I will be up against the other girls from the UK as well as the other European finalists but it is a challenge I am looking forward to.”

Sales Manager for EuroCanterbury Volkswagen, Chris Evans, said: “We are very happy to support Hayley’s Miss European quest and would like to wish her all the success for the finals.
