This Official Media Partnership is a clear testament of our belief that Gurranabraher Credit Union can be a real banking alternative for existing and new members. We have developed a positive and engaged partnership with Cork’s Red FM in recent years and this new agreement will ensure Gurranabraher Credit Union will have Corks leading media outlet promoting Gurranabraher Credit Union.

Stephen Ryan, Head of Marketing at Cork’s Red FM speaking at the event said: “We are delighted to partner with Gurranabraher Credit Union on both Red Hits and also on their fundraising drive for Cork ARC Cancer Support. This cements their position at the heart of the Cork community which is something that we very much believe in at the station. We feel that Red Hits is a perfect fit for Gurranabraher Credit Union as Philip Bourke’s lunchtime show is out and about mixing with people throughout the year at many fantastic events. This can now be brought to the next level with the show being supported by one of the North side’s largest Credit Union”.
