Fairstone Drogheda has entered into a significant multi-year partnership with Drogheda & District Chamber, becoming the official sponsor of the Chamber’s ‘Sporting Heroes’ awards programme.
The initiative celebrates individuals and clubs from across the full spectrum of sport, recognising dedication, achievement, and community impact at every level. From underage athletes to senior competitors and veterans, and across disciplines including athletics, hockey, GAA, golf, football, and rugby, the awards aim to honour those who have committed themselves to excellence in their chosen field.
Drogheda & District Chamber CEO, Hubert Murphy, welcomed the partnership, highlighting the inclusive nature of the programme:
“We will be searching far and wide for those worthy of winning an award, and the first announcements are on the way. Teaming up with Fairstone for these awards is fantastic. There are so many deserving individuals and clubs who will now have their moment to shine thanks to this agreement.”
Fairstone Drogheda, formerly known as Fortitude Financial Planning, is part of the Fairstone Ireland Group and is committed to delivering trusted, relationship-led financial advice both locally and nationwide. Led by Francis McTaggart, the firm has built a strong reputation for excellence in financial planning, grounded in clarity, integrity, and long-term client partnerships.
Commenting on the partnership, Francis McTaggart said:
“We are delighted to support the Chamber on this important initiative. Sport plays a vital role in our community, and recognising people in such an inclusive way is something we are proud to be part of. We look forward to meeting the winners in the months and years ahead.”

The announcement follows a landmark year for Fairstone Ireland, which in 2025 surpassed €2.7 billion in assets under management reinforcing its position as Ireland’s fastest-growing independent financial planning and wealth management firm.
