Viewing each challenging job as a learning opportunity set a precedent for this category, with Gorman Electrical Services (GES) coming out top. Judges praised how GES loves diving into complex tasks to help it grow and maintain high standards. Father and son, both Patrick, apprenticed together before forming this fledgling family business, with a total staff of nine. Staff training is a focus, including sponsorship of an engineering degree for one team member, alongside boosting efficiency through technology such as Tradify and MagicPlan. GES has learnt a lot and really upped its game in only six months. The firm is thrilled with the response it has received so far, gathering an impressive 81 five-star reviews, a true testament to its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Facing technically-challenging jobs is all part of the gig. By reaching out to its network for advice, together with drawing on its own research, this small contractor devises a solid plan to nail the job right the first time. Pat Sr, who dedicated his career to the Irish army as an aircraft mechanic in the Air Corp before retiring at the age of 56, was swayed by his wife to lend a hand to his son’s new venture. What began as a part-time assistance role, quickly developed into a full apprenticeship.

Keldin Engineering demonstrates an exemplary ability to meet project timelines and deadlines while effectively managing the budget throughout projects. Its approach is anchored in a commitment to quality, safety and client satisfaction from the outset. Upon award of a contract, it conducts thorough quality workshops to define project requirements and identify critical success factors. Emphasising a ‘zero snags, zero defects’ ethos, the team ensures right-first-time delivery, exceeding client expectations. The company’s vision of setting new benchmarks in the M&E industry, driven by integrity, professionalism and client-centric values, underscores its dedication to success in handling technically-challenging projects.
