Northern Ireland’s business enjoys Barclay Communications’ race evening
“The race evening gives us the opportunity to say thanks to our partners and clients for their support over the last year. However, now it is also becoming a real hit on Northern Irelandʼs business and social calendars.”

Top Northern Ireland golfer, Darren Clarke and business men and women from throughout the province attended Barclay Communicationsʼ seventh annual Down Royal Race Evening on Friday 28th May. Along with nearly three thousands race visitors, Barclay Communications also entertained 450 VIP guests within their corporate suite in Down Royalʼs new hospitality building.
This included Wilson Dennison (Dennison Commercials), Ian Wilson (Wilsonʼs Auctions), David Allen (Scan Alarms), Alison Campbell (Alison Campbell Model Agency) and William McCausland (Fonacab). As Northern Irelandʼs only O2 Centre of Excellence and TomTom WORK Partner, the event was also attended by UK business heads from O2 and TomTom WORK. Britt Megahey, managing director of Barclay Communications commented on the evening:
Communicationsʼ exclusive guests enjoyed professional massages, Wii games, dinner, drinks, a seven strong race card and musical
entertainment from the popular Sunshine band.
This year Barclay also held a SMS text
competition, which gave race attendees the opportunity to win a £50 bet on the last race. The prize was picked up by Peter Boyle from the Four Seasons.
Legal‑Island and Pentland MacDonald were also present in Barclay Communicationsʼ corporate suite after winning Barclay Communicationsʼ VIP ticket competition, which ran for two months prior to the event on
www.barclaycomms.com. As Northern Ireland Chamber Of Commerceʼs Business of the Year, Barclay Communications are still growing and recruiting more staff throughout the UK. With big growth plans and strategies in place for the next couple of years, the company are intending to hold their annual race evening for years to come and continue to make big business headlines in Northern Ireland and the UK.

Think Pink’ for summer cocktail
While the idea of port traditionally conjures up images of a hot drink by a fire in the depth of winter, a new and unique port offering is set to bring port consumption into the summer months; as a key ingredient in refreshing cocktails.
Croft Pink is the first ever light ruby coloured port and its distinctive style and crisp, fruity flavour makes it the perfect ingredient for cocktails during long hot summer evenings. Distributed by Lurgan‑based wholesaler United Wine Merchants, Croft Pinkʼs introduction into the marketplace is being supported by a multi‑ faceted marketing campaign, including the chance to win a pair of tickets to Pinkʼs concert at the Kings Hall Complex as part of her Funhouse Tour.
“Outlets in Belfast are being encouraged to feature a range of cocktails over a four week period, supported by bespoke tent cards and POS activity, for the chance to win £250 worth
of prizes. Consumers will be directly targeted through ʻPink Ladiesʼ – dedicated Croft Pink promotional staff – which will drive consumers to participating outlets, where they will receive a complimentary Croft Pink cocktail. Finally, bar tenders are also being encouraged to get creative through a ʻThink Pink Cocktail Competitionʼ, where participants are challenged to create their own Croft Pink Cocktail to compete against fellow bar staff. Martin McAuley, Managing Director United Wine Merchants, commented: “Croft Pink is a truly unique port offering that is shifting the traditional consumption patterns of port. The summer months and hot weather generally witness a move towards lighter, fruitier labels such as rose, light white wines or indeed cocktails. Croft Pink sits particularly well as a key ingredient within cocktails and we are confident that through our marketing campaign we will be successful in informing as
77
many customers as possible about the merits of this label. We are also keen to communicate the attributes of Croft Pink to bar tenders and outlets as we believe this will prove a popular addition for their customer base.”
