“ We’ ve also recently invested around £ 350,000 in new technologies. We’ re in the process of implementing cuttingedge AI and a new ERP system to revolutionise our decision-making processes, streamline operations, and integrate core business functions for maximum efficiency.”
As an ethical business, Irwin M & E is passionate about having a positive impact on the communities in which it works.“ We’ re proud to support our local community, especially through our‘ Beyond the Tools’ bursary, whereby we sponsor a range of local sports teams and events,” Richard shares.“ These partnerships provide valuable financial support and encourage participation in activities that promote health, wellbeing, and community spirit.
“ Our Charity of the Year initiative, chosen through a staff vote, offers employees a direct say in the causes we support to ensure our charitable efforts are meaningful to our team while making a positive difference to those in need. Also, our sustained growth has resulted in the creation of new jobs, providing valuable employment opportunities within our region. This has not only strengthened our position as a key employer but also contributed to the regional economy.
“ In a time where quality people are hard to find, we’ ve added a dedicated talent acquisition role within the business, and we strive to retain talent by fostering a positive culture and working environment. Our apprenticeship scheme is highly sought-after, with around 50 apprentices currently in the business, and our placement students at Ulster University are often highly commended.”
