New Operation Established In Draperstown

Irish Fencing and Railings Ltd. have acquired the services of Cathal Rogers to act as General Manager of the enterprise and have added the Rogers Prosport Fencing Range to their own range of products for sports grounds.

Cathal has over 30 years experience in the fencing industry throughout Ireland and the UK and has been one of the most innovative and progressive figures in the business.

Shane Winters Managing Director of Irish Fencing and Railings Ltd. said: "This is a very exciting opportunity for us to expand our activities in the North West and Border Counties of the Republic and in Northern Ireland.

"Having Cathal on board will confirm our intention to be a very serious player in the market for Fences, Railings and Gates on a 32 County Basis.

"The Rogers name is synonymous with Fencing in Northern Ireland in particular, and greatly strengthens our position."

Cathal has been at the lead in developing The Rogers Prosport range of Welded Mesh Systems for Sports areas and has been involved with many GAA, Soccer, Rugby, Hockey and MUGA's (Multi User Ground Utilities) for Clubs, Schools, Colleges and Local Authorities.

As the longest established fencing company in The Irish Republic we offer a complete range of fencing products,ranging from sports meshes through perimeter security products such as Railings and Palisade to our wide number of gate options, we are always keen to adapt and improve our products and this new arrangement will no doubt lead to some changes in our offerings in the future.

This new operation in Draperstown comes 3 months after the opening of an office in Newry, and is part of an overall plan to provide our customers north and south with an Irish Fencing location close to their projects.

With operations in Cork, Dublin, Newry and now Draperstown we give the best geographic coverage of any fencing manufacturer or installer on the island" says Winters.
