“The company is established since 1979 and right now we have 15 staff working here. I’m the Managing Director and my son Gavin Walsh is also involved , so you could say that it’s a family business we’re running here,” Colm outlined.

“It has been a pretty positive year for us, I have to say. We’re doing on-going work for LinkedIn, Bank of Ireland and the Irish Heart Foundation, so we can’t complain at all,” Colm stated.
Past projects also include works on numerous Allied Irish Bank branches throughout the country, along with work on the Irishtown Sports Stadium in Dublin and on the Royal Hospital in Donnybrook for Townlink Construction.
