KILDARE GAA SECURES LUCRATIVE SPONSORSHIP DEAL WITH LEADING COMPANY, MANGUARD PLUS
ANNOUNCEMENT OF MANGUARD PLUS AS PARTNERS WITH KILDARE GAA FOR THE NAMING RIGHTS FOR MANGUARD PARK – KILDARE GAA CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE
The success of the partnership between Security Company, Manguard Plus, and Kildare GAA has been further strengthened with the announcement that the company is renewing its commitment to the organisation, extending its sponsorship for another 5 years.
The collaboration sees the company securing the naming rights for the ‘Kildare GAA Centre of Excellence’, now to be called ‘Manguard Park’, and the sponsorship of the Minor football league and championship for the term of the new deal.
Manguard Plus is Ireland’s largest privately owned Irish Security company with offices throughout the island of Ireland. The multi award winning company, founded 27 years ago, employs some 1,200 people across the island of Ireland from offices in Naas, Dublin, Waterford, Belfast and Derry.
Speaking at the launch Sean Hall, Managing Director of Manguard Plus said
“I am delighted that Manguard Plus is continuing its association with Kildare GAA.
The organisation is a force for good in our community; both staff and volunteers put in huge efforts to attract, retain and grow its membership. Its place in our community is now more important than ever as young people are really experiencing huge pressures and stress”.
“I am a passionate advocate for young people and believe that engaging in sport gives them lifelong skills that can be transferred to all areas of their lives-commitment, teamwork, dedication and hard work. It gives them a sense of community, of being part of something and that is vital for all aspects of a person’s life”.
“This new five year agreement between Manguard Plus and Kildare GAA is going to further cement the ties we have in this county and I’m personally very excited about the future of Kildare GAA. Cill Dara Abu!”
Praising the company for its ongoing support Kildare GAA Chairperson Mick Gorman said
“We are delighted to renew our partnership and sponsorship agreement with Manguard Plus for an additional five years. Manguard Plus has been a fantastic supporter and promoter of Kildare GAA for many years. Without the support of local businesses such as Manguard Plus, who cares deeply about its community, the valuable work done by all involved in Kildare GAA, the continued growth and success would not be possible. We thank them for their continued commitment in moving forward with us for another five years.”
