“Big congratulations and huge thanks for the almighty effort that you, the team and all supporting staff and trades have contributed over the last 18months. This has been a project like no-other and without your dedication and experience we simply would not be in a position to welcome students this coming academic year. Through each setback, the collaborative nature has enabled us to adapt and remain nimble and I would say sets the benchmark for projects going forward.”

CHRIS FITZPATRICK, Head of Innovation and Technology at Ardmac, charts his company’s digital transformation journey
In the 45 years since its inception, Ardmac has earned itself a reputation not just for delivering results, but for exceeding client expectations. This has not gone unnoticed; what was once a small Irish operation is now the leading provider of high-tech cleanrooms, data centre solutions, fit-outs, specialised refurbishments, and turn-key manufacturing facilities across Europe.
Group turnover within Ireland alone last year was €75million, while overall turnover was closer to €135million.
The past 12 to 18 months have seen Ardmac complete a whole range of significant projects across Ireland, the UK and Europe; these included a 15,000 square metre cleanroom facility for WuXi Biologics in Dundalk, a large microelectronic project in Kildare, several data centre projects in Europe, and several high-end commercial fit-outs in Ireland and the UK. Key recent wins have included large pharma facilities in Limerick, Cork and Finland, data centre projects in Denmark, Germany and Austria, and battery facilities in the UK. Modular construction is fast becoming a key part of the group’s activity. Having already delivered several such projects across Europe, its first modular project in Africa is on track to be delivered by the end of 2022. So far this year, the company has been working on several large campus sites, securing further phases.
