SHEPARDSVILLE, Ky., April 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A spectacle unlike any other
unfolded in the heart of New York
City! To celebrate a decade of safeguarding American
workers, workwear and PPE manufacturer Portwest orchestrated an
unforgettable celebration, culminating in a thrilling takeover of
Times Square.
A Decade of Dedication to American Safety
For ten years, Portwest, a fourth-generation family-owned
company headquartered in County Mayo,

USA. To commemorate this milestone
and their unwavering commitment, a prominent billboard in Times
Square proudly displayed the Portwest brand, a shining testament to
their dedication.
Building Connections at the Heart of New York
The celebration transcended the iconic billboard. A productive
networking breakfast, co-hosted by Portwest and Enterprise Ireland
USA, was held at the Irish
Consulate on Park Avenue. Construction safety professionals from
the NYC area gathered to connect with colleagues, partners, and
friends, gaining valuable insights into Portwest's industry-leading
products and services.
A Wave of Community Spirit Takes Over Times Square
The celebration extended far beyond the boardroom. In a display
of community spirit that captivated the city, Portwest ignited
Times Square with a vibrant gathering. A staggering 3,000 friends
and family, clad in a sea of green and red, the colors of
County Mayo, transformed the heart
of New York. This electrifying
display of enthusiasm, complete with Portwest-branded merchandise
and a massive group sing-along, was immortalized in photos and
videos that spread widely across social media.
