Braemar’s premium granite aesthetic caught the eye of the judges.
ARCHITECTS CROWN BRAEMAR PAVING “BEST EXTERIOR PRODUCT” Tobermore’s premium concrete paving Braemar was awarded “Best Exterior Product” at the Architects Choice Awards 2022. The product has become a firm favourite with specifiers due to its premium granite aesthetic and on- trend colour palette but, ultimately, it was Braemar’s sustainability credentials that won the judges over. As part of Tobermore’s commitment to sustainable manufacturing, the company published a library of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). EPDs enable architects to compare the environmental impact of different materials and make informed decisions about which to choose for their projects. Managing Director and Owner of Tobermore, David Henderson commented on the win, “We are absolutely delighted. Specifiers love Braemar’s high-end granite look, and it is a popular choice for public realm schemes. We are experiencing a tremendous amount of Braemar enquiries due to the rising costs, longer lead times and environmental implications of importing Chinese natural granite.” To find out more, visit: tobermore.co.uk/ professional/why-choose-braemar
HAGAN DONATES £1M TO THE INTEGRATED EDUCATION FUND
Homebuilding firm Hagan Homes will donate £1m to the Integrated Education Fund (IEF), which supports the growth and development of Integrated Education in NI. James Hagan, Chair and Founder of Hagan Homes, will commit the funds over a three-year period in what will be the IEF’s largest-ever corporate donation since the charity’s inception in 1992. Hagan Homes has been supporting the charity for 30 years. The funds will go towards the IEF’s mission to see 30 more schools become Integrated
through the Transformation process, as well as to programmes that promote integration through sport, support to children with additional educational needs, and new preschool provision. “The IEF is the backbone to making sure opportunities are there in educational settings that bring our children together. It is the voice and the supporter of the cause and any funding that goes to this drive can only help shape a better society here in Northern Ireland,” commented James Hagan.
