As 2024 draws to a close, the team have been looking back over the year and have picked out some highlights (in no particular order!): 1. We launched our website!  2. We achieved our ISO 9001 QMS accreditation. 3. We prepared the Flemington LAP for Fingal County Council. 4. We welcomed new staff - Simon Bradshaw, Alessia De Luca, Eoin Ryan, Liam Murphy (Intern) and Joye Atkinson (Intern). 5. We were delighted to see Tesco's new store in Fermoy commence on site with Main Contractors Precision Construction Limited. 6. We secured planning permission for a new Tesco store in Cavan Town. 7. We enjoyed some time out of the office - we visited Cork City; we took part in the annual Staff Relay Series in Phoenix Park; and enjoyed a night at the dogs. 8. We produced a Final Business Case for Fingal County Council's URDF funded Quay Street & Environs Project (presently under construction). 9. Our colleague Simon Bradshaw presented at the EU Just Transition Conference in Portlaoise. 10. We learned some vital first aid skills thanks to Heartsafety Solutions. .... and we are looking forward to some exciting projects for 2025!

The National Transport Authority (NTA) hosted an event at the Midlands Park Hotel on Tuesday 15th of October called “Accelerating the Transition to Electric Buses”, bringing together private bus operators from across the Midlands to discuss the future of sustainable bus transport. Co-funded by the Government of Ireland and the European Union through the EU Just Transition Fund (EU JTF) programme, the event provided essential guidance and consultation for private operators in the region who are interested in transitioning their fleets to electric vehicles. Working with SYSTRA, our colleague Simon Bradshaw made a presentation at the event providing a detailed overview of the planning system.
