SIR Bobby Robson will today open the seventh branch of one of the North- East’s biggest plumbers’ merchant companies.
Taps, which is unveiling its newest base in Walker, Newcastle, is making a £5,000 donation to The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation in return for the much-loved football legend performing the opening.
Sir Bobby said: “I am delighted to be able to be part of the opening of the seventh branch of Taps, providing a further boost for the region’s economy and also creating allimportant jobs.
“I’d like to wish them every success in the future and to thank them for their generous support of the Bobby Robson foundation.”
The foundation supports an early cancer trials unit being built at the Freeman Hospital, in Newcastle.
