Grenfell survivors urge golfer Leona Maguire to axe Kingspan sponsorship

Irish building materials firm was identified by Grenfell inquiry as behaving with ‘persistent dishonesty’

Leona Maguire could follow in the footsteps of fellow Irish golfer Shane Lowry and drop Kingspan as a sponsor

A second professional golfer, Leona Maguire, is under pressure to end her sponsorship deal with the Irish company Kingspan after the public inquiry into the Grenfell Tower disaster found it behaved with “persistent dishonesty” in selling combustible foam insulation.

Grenfell United (GU), the bereaved and survivors group, is calling on the 29-year-old to drop the firm and stop wearing its logo on her golf shirts after the Ryder Cup player Shane Lowry announced he was doing so earlier this week.
