Lough Neagh Bronze is a small company that started as a partnership between Barry O Neill and Steve Finney. Barry has extensive experience in the giftware industry. Steve has worked in the giftware industry as a designer/sculptor for 21 years.
Both the partners had reached a crossroads in their respective careers due to downsizing and outsourcing. They share a love of Irish culture, history and arts so decided to set up their own business in order to help keep that heritage alive.
The home of Lough Neagh Bronze is situated just outside of the village of Ardboe in County Tyrone, near to the famous Ardboe High Cross. Lough Neagh, the largest lake in Ireland is a couple of miles away and to the west, the Sperrin mountains survey the countryside in all their splendour.
The whole area is undeveloped due to the troubles, but hopefully with the continuation of the peace process, this will gradually change. The area contains places of outstanding beauty, the people are friendly and welcoming, have a strong sense of family and tradition. Lough Neagh Bronze hopes to be part of the areas renaissance.
Lough Neagh Bronze specialise in the manufacture of high quality cold cast bronze giftware, guaranteed hand made in Ireland. Products that reflect Irelands Irish and Celtic Culture and History. This range will be added to on an ongoing basis.
We are also able to offer a design service for small run production. This service is specifically designed to facilitate customers who need an item which is unique to them.
For example:- Personalised awards, for business , sports, pastimes, excellence etc. Or bespoke products designed to a particular specification for retailers, perhaps a wall plaque sculpted to show something within that retailers area i.e. a castle or local hero for instance.
We also intend to be an interactive company through the website. We would welcome any feedback, suggestions or questions regarding us or our products. |
