Insurance specialist Admiral Group, which employs 900 staff in Newport, has signed up as the presenting sponsor for the 2016 Fireworks Spectacular at the Celtic Manor Resort.

The annual event sees more than 4,000 people enjoy a fireworks display, children’s funfair rides, live music and entertainment.

This year’s spectacular presented by Admiral will take place on Saturday, November 5.

Admiral’s head of people services Ceri Assiratti said: “We’re delighted to be sponsoring the spectacular. Bonfire night is always a fun night out and the Celtic Manor Resort always puts on a fantastic show which, thanks to our partnership, many of our staff and their families are really looking forward to.”

Admiral employs 900 staff in its Newport office and 6,100 staff in its offices across south Wales.

The event at Celtic Manor has been a sell-out success for the last five years with families returning year after year to marvel at the stunning choreographed display. It will also feature a licensed bar and tasty, winter-warming treats to enjoy before, during and after the show.

Celtic Manor sponsorship and hospitality executive Gemma Smith said: “We are thrilled to have secured the support of Admiral as the presenting sponsor of our Fireworks Spectacular.

“The event has gone from strength to strength since our first event in 2011 and the support of such a well-known company will help it to grow even further. We have an expanding calendar of events at Celtic Manor and it is very pleasing that more and more leading businesses are choosing to associate themselves with these special occasions.”
