Second golfer urged to drop deal with firm criticised over Grenfell fire

Grenfell United (GU), the bereaved and survivors group, is calling on the 29-year-old to drop the firm and stop wearing its logo on her golf shirts after the Ryder Cup player Shane Lowry said he was doing so earlier this week.

Ed Daffarn, a GU member and survivor of the fire, said: "If she continues her relationship with Kingspan she is making a conscious decision to endorse a company that the public inquiry found behaved with 'persistent dishonesty' and we believe had a total disregard for human life."
