We know that construction can be a challenging sector and take a toll on people’ s mental health, so we’ ve developed a world-class mental health and wellbeing programme to ensure we offer the best support for our people
excitement and anticipation for the future among our employees.
“ From a project perspective, the acquisition by Dornan has broadened our client base, diversified the industries we serve, and led to increased opportunities with Turner’ s clients, not only in Europe but also in North America,” he continues.“ Turner is part of a wider business, ACS Group, which is expanding its presence in the data centre sector. We’ re well positioned to help with this data centre target, and this is just one example of the increased opportunities and pipelines available to us since the acquisition.”
Growth trajectory
Aside from the acquisition, Dornan has experienced significant growth over the last 12 months.“ We started 2024 with around 1100 people and we now employ between 1400-and-1500,” Micheál shares.“ We’ ve also grown in terms of markets and capabilities. We’ re engaging with more blue-chip clients across Europe since the acquisition, and Turner has introduced us to some clients in a number of sectors that we previously wouldn’ t have had access to. Many of our existing clients were asking us to expand into the general contracting space, which is especially valuable in the data centre market,
