The Guinness Choir is delighted that Spry Finance is its new lead sponsor.

Spry Finance, launched in 2021, is the retail arm of Seniors Money, an Irish-owned lifetime loan provider that has been operating successfully in Ireland since 2006 and has more than €400m of assets under management across its lending and servicing platform, and loan portfolios. The company is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland and is authorised by the CBI as a Retail Credit Firm. It is fully-funded by a number of major international financial institutions including Canada Life Reinsurance. Spry Finance is a customer-focused company, providing older people with real options for living a greater life in later life.

As part of a three-year sponsorship agreement, funding from Spry, Ireland’s sole provider of lifetime loans, will go towards the cost of running the choir, including rehearsals and performances.

Spry Finance CEO John Moriarty said: “The Guinness Choir has been delivering wonderful performances for more than 70 years – but it is much more than just a choir. It is a thriving community of people who are passionate about music and the joy that singing brings to their lives and to those who watch them perform.

“Research shows that singing is an inclusive way for people to have fun and live a happier, healthier life. The Guinness Choir embodies this through its members, including some who have been singing in the choir for 50 years. Spry is committed to encouraging older people to stay active, championing a greater life in later life, and we’re proud to support an organisation that provides people with such wonderful cultural and social opportunities.”

John Healy, Chair of The Guinness Choir, said: “We are delighted to welcome Spry Finance as our new sponsor. Over the years, the choir has given many hundreds of amateur singers the opportunity to perform great works with professional orchestras and soloists in major venues in Ireland and abroad. With Spry’s support, we look forward to enhancing our musical programme and reaching even more people who can benefit from the joy that choral music brings.”
