Ulster Bank will be at the forefront of Northern Ireland’s flagship agricultural event as the principal sponsor of The Balmoral Show for a fourth year.
The Show, which takes place from 16th to 18th May 2012, will again be run in association with the bank, following its highly successful sponsorships in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
Ulster Bank’s Head of Business and Commercial Banking in Northern Ireland, Ian Jordan, and RUAS Chief Executive, Colin McDonald, got the partnership underway for 2012 at a special breakfast event this morning in the King’s Hall Complex Conference Centre.
Mr Jordan says: “Ulster Bank has been involved in the Balmoral Show for many years, and became the show’s first ever principal sponsor in 2009. We are delighted to have been able to build on the success of our partnership with the RUAS each year, and are confident that this year’s show will be another fantastic showcase for the farming and food sectors in Northern Ireland, as well as a popular family occasion,” he adds.
Colin McDonald welcomed Ulster Bank’s continued support for the Show: “We are delighted with the ongoing partnership between Ulster Bank and the RUAS over the last four years. We look forward to continuing this partnership as it goes from strength to strength.”
Ulster Bank’s Senior Agricultural Manager, Cormac McKervey, says: “The Balmoral Show allows us an unparalleled opportunity to communicate our strong commitment to the agri-food sector and to build relationships with farmers and food businesses. Our presence at the show this year will again play an important role in helping us to create awareness of the funding, support and expertise that we can offer to the sector.”
