Case study - UTV Internet

UTV Internet is the zoo's most recent corporate partner, sponsoring our cheetah enclosures.

An established provider of residential and business internet services throughout Ireland, they offer a range of products which are built on high-quality, reliable services at competitive prices.

Jeremy Biggerstaff, Managing Director of UTV New Media, said: “This is a perfect partnership for UTV Internet, given the cheetah's amazing speed and our super-fast broadband service – it’s a natural corporate fit and one we want our customers to enjoy.

“Not only can we support a species facing extinction through our partnership, but we can benefit our customers.”

UTV Internet have used Belfast Zoo’s cheetahs in their recent TV ad and are using some of their benefits as partners to provide an exciting prize for their latest competition.

All you have to do to win a behind-the-scenes and guided tour of Belfast Zoo is come up with the best TV names for our cheetahs.

You can enter online at www.utvinternet.com/zoo or pick up a leaflet at the zoo.
