The ECI Group has announced the appointment of Gary Dwyer as Group Managing Director. Since joining ECI in 1997, Gary has held the role of Finance Director for many years. During this time Gary also developed a broad set of commercial skills, and his knowledge and experience in the industry place him perfectly to now take on the responsibilities of this new challenge. Declan Hanratty, Chairman of ECI Group, commented, “These are exciting times for ECI and Gary’s appointment reflects the ambition we have to continually grow our businesses and provide professional, modern and accessible lighting and energy solutions to our customers in the Irish market and beyond.” As a result of Gary’s promotion, Mark Smith, who has been with ECI since 2017 as Management Accountant, will now take up the position of Financial Controller. During a tough last year and a half for the construction industry, the ECI Group has continued to grow, most recently with ECI Energy’s investment in Acutrace Ltd, an energy measurement software company, which will allow the ECI Group to offer additional energy-saving solutions to its clients.
