Tegral Sees County Monaghan Winner Of Roof Competition

Gerry Cassidy from Scotstown in County Monaghan has become the winner of the second draw in Tegral’s exciting Win A Roof Competition.

Gerry purchased his Tegral ThrutonePlus slates from the Monaghan branch of Heiton Buckley Builders Merchants.

It was an unfortunate circumstance that brought about the purchase as Gerry was rebuilding his home after a devastating house fire in December 2011. Thankfully there was nobody at home at the time.

At the official presentation of the prize a very pleased Gerry explained how the whole roof was destroyed by the fire and due to the amount of damage caused the entire house had to be levelled and rebuilt.

The house, located on half an acre in the townland of Drummons, had been there for twenty years since Gerry bought the site off his father.

Construction of the new house began in June of last year and Gerry, along with his wife Patricia and sons Shane and Gary, hope to move back in to their new home at Easter.

Gerry received his prize at the premises of Heiton Buckley Builders Merchants, Milltown on 22 January 2013. Also present were David Hamilton, Branch Manager and Barry Farrelly, Sales Advisor at the store.

David explained: “Heiton Buckley Monaghan has a long history and a great relationship with Tegral. We can sell Tegral slates with complete confidence as Tegral are an Irish manufacturer and offer great levels of support.”

David added: “We are delighted to have had a winner in the Tegral Win A Roof Competition and particularly so that it was Gerry as it has been a hard-luck story for him and his family since the house fire. We congratulate them and wish them well.”

The prize was awarded by Tadhg Donohoe, National Sales Manager of Tegral.

Also in attendance were David McMurtry, Sales Manager and Alan Donohoe who is Tegral’s Technical Sales Representative for the region.

Tadhg said: “We are so pleased to present this prize to Gerry and we hope that he and his family have many happy years in their new home.”

He continued: “The Win A Roof competition has been very successful and we would encourage anyone building a new home this year to choose Tegral slates which are made in Ireland for Irish conditions”.
