Hi, I’m George Walker, Director of Business Development at Ardmac. I have worked for Ardmac for more than 22 years. I started out as a young mechanical engineer working initially on the design and manufacture of specialist cleanroom equipment. Back then, Ardmac was a lot smaller than it is today. I have seen a huge amount of growth in the business over the years and it is still growing. I think that’s what keeps our people loyal and what contributes to the amount of long serving employees in the business. The most recent development at Ardmac, and something I am very excited to be a part of, is our collaboration with the American company, Germfree. Ardmac are the official manufacturing partner of Germfree and are licensed to supply Germfree solutions to Europe. Germfree are manufacturers of cleanroom solutions specialising in off-site manufacture of modular systems. They have a global presence across the globe, supplying USA, Africa, South America, and the Far East, and with our help we hope to gain a foothold into Europe. We have established a manufacturing partnership with Cental in Ireland. With this partnership we bring inhouse manufacturing capacity with over 10,000m2 of manufacturing facility. This is central to our growth in delivering off site constructed cleanroom solutions. We have a strong pipeline of work, especially around the Life Sciences, and in particular Vaccine manufacture for new and existing clients. With our extensive experience in the sectors and coupled with the Germfree track record we are well placed to service these. INSPIRATION From a very young age I was interested in construction – and I don’t just mean Lego – I started out working with my uncle who was a builder in the west of Ireland.
