Pulling together to mark a 60th

THE families of Balcas employees came together to celebrate the Fermanagh-based company’s 60th anniversary year at a special Family Fun Day.

The day included bouncy castles, balloon modelling, face-painting and the usual activities associated with a family fun day, taking place over at Enniskillen Airport, and even featured a Balcas Strong Man/strong Woman competition.

The highlight of the afternoon on on Sunday, September 4 was the Balcas Express – a mini train that toured the 72-acre Balcas site, presenting the staff with the opportunity to show their children their area of work, and helping to illustrate a little of the company’s sustainability story.

A Balcas spokesperson said: “We look forward to further events to mark our anniversary, including a Balcas at 60 cycle of the lough on Sunday, October 2 in support of Fermanagh Women’s Aid and more planned activities for 2023.”
