Sweco UK has established a new office in Co Cork.

Having launched in the UK last April following its acquisition of Grontmij, the consultancy has now created a new base at Phoenix House on Monahan Road.

The company has helped to deliver a number of major transportation projects across Ireland including the M8 Cashel to Mitchelstown motorway, the M50 upgrade in Dublin and the M3 Clonee to Kells motorway scheme in Meath.

The team is currently working on the Oweninny wind farm in Mayo, phase two of the A1 junctions project in Northern Ireland and will shortly commence tender design work on the A6 Dungiven to Drumahoe dualling scheme also in Northern Ireland.


Commenting on the new office launch, Sweco UK managing director, Max Joy said: "Since launching Sweco in the UK we have experienced positive revenue growth and the projects we have been involved with in Ireland have contributed to this.

"We chose to open in Cork to establish a permanent presence in Ireland which will further enhance the service provided to our clients based in the country and operating within it. The expansion forms part of our ongoing strategic growth plans as it provides the platform for our teams to explore new opportunities to generate additional sustainable, profitable growth."

Cork-based Sweco operations director, John Nolan, who is leading the team in Ireland, added: "Sweco is a forward-thinking and ambitious business. Our further expansion into Ireland will allow us to enhance the service provided to our clients, foster even closer relationships with them and explore new opportunities with a range of prospects."
