As a company, we know first-hand how important the service is to people who require urgent medical care. Air Ambulance NI, working alongside their partners at NIAS, attend traumatic situations every single day, delivering the highest quality care, so it’s vital we get behind them and not take this service for granted. We look forward to doing our bit in helping to promote the charity and its lifesaving service for the people of Northern Ireland.”
