CHANGES AT THE TOP FOR TRADE ELECTRIC LIMERICK… NewBranchManager

D ave Nolan has taken on the standing employee, Pat O’Callaghan who is stepping into another role within the company.

No matter how big or small the customers’ needs may be, Dave will always ensure they

get his time. He never stops building relationships and can often be found working late into the evenings to get quotes back to his customers. “This dedication and work ethic is there for everyone to see and for anyone looking to progress in the industry they only need to be around Dave for a short while to see how and why he has progressed.” Commenting on Pat’s move, Fergal said, “Pat is moving to another role in the business where I’ll be able to lean on his experience to help me with certain projects that I may have struggled to give the time to in the past. “In my 17 years with the company, Pat has been a great source of information for me and I have learned an incredible amount about the industry from him. I will always be grateful to him for his support.” “My aim would be to make Trade Electric in Limerick the first choice for customers to go to in Limerick.”
