										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Eamonn and Liam were measuring work EJ McGrath Construction had completed on the promenade, when they spotted Craig who plays Dave and Ralf who plays Anthony in the highly popular sit com walking along the prom.</p>
<p>The actors who were in town scouting for a location for a new TV series they are working on, were impressed that a local company had carried out all the slab and stone works on such a high profile project.</p>
<p>EJ McGrath Construction has been involved for 3 years on the prom, seawall and Pier Square redevelopments and are very proud of the high level of finish which has been achieved. Eamonn McGrath said &#8220;it was nice to have visitors commenting on how impressed they are with the improvements and it looks like the multi million pound investment has been given the Royle seal of approval&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Royalty visit our work in Cardiff City Centre</p>
<p>Achieving sectional completion on schedule for the first phase of our works in Cardiff was vital as an estimated 80,000 people have lined the streets of Cardiff for the UK&#8217;s second Armed Forces Day.</p>
<p>The day began with a parade of troops from Cardiff Castle along the new paving on St Marys Street and will included air, sea and land displays and a drumhead service.</p>
<p>Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall joined the event as part of their week-long tour of Wales.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As our work on what was previously known as Pier Square neared completion, it was revealed her Majesty Queen Elizabeth had given her personal approval for the square, opposite the Grand Pier, to be named <a href="https://ejmcgrath.co.uk/project/princess-anne-square/">Princess Royal Square </a>– after Her Royal Highness Princess Anne.</p>
<p>Eamonn McGrath met with Princess Anne and spoke with her during her visit to the new Square where she unveiled a plaque. The Princess was impressed by the standard of workmanship  and the overall feel of the new public space.</p>
<p>The seafront square has until now been known as Pier Square. Members of the public were asked in 2009 to suggest names for the revamped area.</p>
<p>EJ McGrath started work on the £3.9million square back in 2010 and it opened in February this 2011.</p>
