ALWOOD'S AFRICAN ADVENTURE

We have long had an association with South Africa and that is set to continue with the welcome news that Alwood
will supply the kitchens, bedrooms and other bespoke furniture to a fantastic new development in Knysna, on the
coast of the beautiful Southern Cape.
The new development – a 120-room hotel, 154 apartments
and a number of commercial units – is also good news for
the area, creating jobs and encouraging tourism to this
beautiful part of the world.
Pushing modesty aside a minute, Alwood was chosen
because of the quality of our products and craftsmanship,
and because of our history of good project management
and our ability to cope with such a large project.
While in Capetown, Wilson met Archbishop Desmond Tutu. ‘I was invited to a meeting, along with the Lurgan ladies hockey team, who were in South Africa coaching children from the nearby townships. Archbishop Tutu is a very special person, after only a few minutes in his company
it’s easy to see why he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
He was very knowledgeable about Northern Ireland, and says he enjoys seeing photos of Mr Paisley and Mr McGuinness together. When he was speaking to the girls on the hockey team he had them roaring with laughter.’
Alwood have completed a number of projects over in Knysna, South Africa, each one installed by Alwood’s own fitters. From kitchens and bedrooms to a home entertainment room and a bar featuring a guitar signed by ‘Snow Patrol’.
