VW sponsors construction industry awards

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles will become this year's headline sponsor for the Irish Construction Industry Awards 2017, writes Trish Whelan.

The awards take place on 9 May in the Clayton Hotel on Burlington Road, Dublin 4, with the best of the best in the Irish Construction Industry expected to attend a Black-Tie Gala Ceremony.

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles have been providing a wide range of vehicles with bespoke specification and tailored customer solutions to Irish construction businesses for over 65 years. They now have a new generation range of vehicles.

Now in its fourth year, the Irish Construction Industry Awards recognises, encourages and celebrates original and innovative contractors, businesses, teams, consultants and projects that demonstrate excellence in the building environment.

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles can be traced back to the early 1950s where the first Volkswagen Transporters, the T1s were assembled in Dublin. The company is now celebrating the arrival of the New Crafter which was awarded International Van of the Year 2017 and will be on display on the night of the awards.

Commenting on the partnership, Kim Kilduff, Head of Sales and Marketing, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Ireland said the company is delighted to get on board with the Irish Construction Industry Awards and become this year's headline sponsor. She added "The awards recognise excellence and innovation which is what Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles live by day to day. On behalf of the company, I would like to wish all entrants the best of luck for this year's awards."
