Former world champion boxer Ricky Hatton visited the offices of Gerard Graham & Company Estate Agents on 8th July 2009 to review design proposals for his new multi-purpose villa and pre-fight training camp which is set to be built at Flamingo Golf Resort. Contract administration for the bespoke property is being conducted from the leading Magherafelt estate agency group. Former heavy weight world champion boxer Frank Bruno accompanied Hatton on the summer trip and viewed the offices. Ricky Hatton said after the trip,
"It was great to visit the office and meet the representatives having spoke to them on the phone so many times. I was well impressed with the welcome we got in Magherafelt and am looking forward to returning again at some stage."
Gerard Graham, Office Principal said, "It was a real bonus to host Ricky and his team for the afternoon. It's not every day such a high profile sports personality flies over for a meeting. The Hatton team have been a please to deal with, we're looking forward to maintaining a good relationship which has been built up since Ricky confirmed the order".
