PORTADOWN firm Ulster Carpets have donated £10,000 of top quality floor coverings to Queen’s University Belfast’s new Graduate and Executive Education Centre at Riddel Hall.
Three years ago Ulster Carpets presented the Aslan carpet to Queen’s for the University’s new McClay Library. This remarkable carpet depicts the face of The Lion from the famous Belfast-born author C S Lewis’s book, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
Ulster Carpets’ chief executive Nick Coburn said he was delighted to be supporting Queen’s University.
Mr Coburn said, “The Riddel Hall business campus fills a gap in the market for quality business and leadership education and will be critical to the economic future of Northern Ireland plc. Our company has been involved right from the start.
“The facilities at Riddel Hall are first-rate. The lecture rooms, syndicate rooms, executive lounges and covered courtyard make Riddel Hall an excellent place to do business.”
He added, “We are convinced that Ulster Carpets’ input has enhanced what has been a very successful restoration of one of the city’s landmark buildings. And we hope that in some way this support will help Northern Ireland on its journey to become the economic powerhouse it deserves to be.”
Twenty other leading Northern Ireland companies are supporting the project over the next five years through the Riddel Hall Founders’ Club. And the Institute of Directors has already moved to this new campus.
