As a teenager, he
attended a number of great gigs at the old Mandela Hall, built in 1967. “It is very satisfying to see the new generation of students making use of the building and the technology we provided,” he said. “It will be great to witness the audience enjoying a show in the new venue, with world-class sound and lighting.” Great feedback Main MEP contractor NUGENT was more than pleased with Absolute’s work at the Students’ Union building. “The Absolute team were extremely attentive during all phases of the project, right through construction to commissioning, and interfaced really well with the NUGENT site team, the main contractor Felix O’ Hare and the client,” commented Richard Gilmour, Operations Director for NUGENT. According to Aodhan McCaffrey, Project Manager for NUGENT, Absolute Technologies team have been fantastic to work with. “From project start to completion, they have demonstrated
calmness, expertise, and real attention to detail during the delivery of a complex project. A willingness to go above and beyond was evident on numerous occasions,” he said.
