Today, Irwin M & E employs over 280 people with a turnover of more than £ 55 million per annum but is on course to reach a projected turnover of £ 70 million by the end of this financial year. Across Irwin M & E’ s three divisions – maintenance and compliance, design and build, and energy and renewables – the business serves several markets, including central and local government, commercial, education, healthcare, industrial, and residential.
