Coinford Construction confirm continued support of Celtic and Irish Cultural Society events through sponsorship of the 2006 Saint Patrick’s Celtic Weave concert - part of Crawley’s 2006 Saint Patrick’s Festivities.
It is the third year that Coinford have supported these events in Crawley and their continued support is a testament to their positive involvement in the local community. Coinford are a major engineering contractor, covering the southeast of England. Coinford regularly tender for contracts between 100,000 GBP and 20,000,000 GBP and their success is based firmly on their experience and expertise.
John Nolan, Celtic and Irish Society Chairman, commented:
“We are highly delighted that Coinford are sponsoring the 2006 Celtic Weave. They have been with us since the very start and it is unlikely that we would be able to develop these exciting events without the continued support of Gerry Hickey and all at Coinford Construction”.
Coinford Construction will sponsor the Saint Patrick’s Celtic Weave concert, a fantastic blend of Celtic music - from Brittany, Ireland and Scotland - performed by the New Ross and District Pipe Band with Dunbrody folk group.
Tickets are now available for £10 or £5 concessions - online booking is also available.
