Ashgrove Renewables has marked its 25th anniversary, reaching the milestone amid continued expansion and growing demand for renewable energy and energy-efficiency upgrades across Ireland.
The Mallow-based company, founded by brothers Shane and Cormac Murphy in 2001, has become one of the region’s largest employers in the renewable energy sector, with its workforce now exceeding 125 people.
Staff gathered last week to mark the occasion and reflect on the company’s development over the past quarter-century.
Since its establishment, more than 280 people have worked with the company, which has grown alongside Ireland’s increasing focus on energy efficiency, solar power, heat pumps and home retrofitting.
The anniversary comes during a period of significant activity for the business, with work ongoing on a new premises and further investment planned as the company continues to expand its operations.
Ashgrove Renewables has been involved in thousands of residential and commercial renewable energy projects across Ireland and the UK, with the sector experiencing rapid growth in recent years due to rising energy costs, climate targets and Government-backed retrofit schemes.
The company said the anniversary was an opportunity to recognise the contribution of former and current employees who have helped drive the business over the last 25 years.
Meanwhile, the company is also preparing to host an online information event focused on energy upgrade grants available to businesses, sports clubs and not-for-profit organisations.
The webinar, scheduled for June 26, will examine supports available through the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) and other funding programmes, outlining eligibility requirements, funding levels and the application process.
Participants will also hear details of a business case study and have the opportunity to put questions to industry experts during a live Q&A session.
The event comes as increasing numbers of organisations seek to reduce energy costs and improve sustainability through grant-supported energy upgrades.
