JP Corry customers meet sporting stars at glittering night
C
ustomers of local building supplier JP Corry were treated to an intimate evening featuring three of Northern Ireland’s top sporting professionals last month.
Former Northern Irish footballer Keith Gillespie, Tyrone Gaelic All-Star Sean Cavanagh and Rugby legend Stephen Ferris entertained 150 guests in a special question and answer session at the Merchant Hotel. Northern Ireland television presenter Adrian Logan hosted the evening and kept proceedings moving along with discussions on career highlights. The event was held in association with building materials company Kingspan and helped raised £2,000 for JP Corry’s charity partner, Barnardo’s Northern Ireland.
