Kingspan, the Cavan based multinational building services company has today announced a two-year partnership with fellow Cavan native and promising golfer, Leona Maguire.
Maguire turned professional just over a year ago and recently enjoyed her second pro victory at the Symetra Classic event in North Carolina.
The sponsorship will see her wearing the Kingspan logo on the collar of her competition clothing. It will sit alongside Allianz and KPMG who have already got agreements in place with the golfer.
Last week she competed in one of the biggest women’s tournaments of the year – the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, at the iconic Hazeltine National Golf Club in Minnesota. This is the same course where fellow Ulster professional Darren Clarke captained the European Ryder Cup team in 2016.
Kingspan have a strong history of sporting sponsorship with golfer Shane Lowry, Ulster Rugby and Cavan GAA among the teams and stars to wear the Kingspan logo at events and competitions around the globe.
They also have stadium naming rights in place at the Kingspan Stadium, home to Ulster rugby in Belfast and Kingspan Breffni OPark in Cavan Town.
“We’re really excited to be working with Leona over the next two years in what will be a hugely important stage in her career,” said Geoff Doherty, Kingspan Chief Financial Officer.
“Her transition from amateur to professional has been seamless. We’re looking forward to supporting her as she continues to develop her professional career.”
“Kingspan have a track record of supporting sports professionals who are looking to develop and grow, so I’m really happy to be working with them over the next two years,” added Maguire.
“With both of us hailing from Cavan, it’s going to be great to have a little bit of home with me wherever I go on the tour.”
