Editor’s COMMENT ACHIEVE STANDOUT IN A COMPETITIVE MARKET Welcome to our July/August edition, which means plumbex Dublin (September 10-11) is just round the corner. We’ve upped the ante for this year’s show with a bigger, more accessible venue, the National Sports Arena in Blanchardstown. Also coming up is Ireland’s Plumbing & Heating Awards, with a deadline of August 22 applying for entries. Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to achieve standout in a competitive market. See inside for further information on both events, as well as the latest industry news, merchant profiles and features on Pumps & Circulators, Commercial Plumbing & Heating, and Heat Pumps. Two impressive case studies feature, including Omagh-based Scott & Ewing’s complete M&E installation at the £35m Ardnashee School & College in Derry/ Londonderry, a much-needed facility for special education needs. And Kilkenny firm Murphy & Kelly has completed a full mechanical services installation at Dublin Simon Community’s first-of-its-kind project in Ireland, a 100- bed facility offering diverse medical, treatment and recovery services for people experiencing homelessness in the city.
