CEO Foreword

The Sammon Group has grown sustainably since its foundation in 1986, and has become a leading contracting entity in Ireland, Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

We're justly proud of our achievements, which include a wide variety of high profile public and private contracts, delivered within exacting time frames to the highest possible standards. Quality, project delivery, and a commitment to client satisfaction, are the primary drivers for the Group, drivers which set us apart in terms of excellence.

Moreover, the Board and employees of Sammon Group have never wavered from this commitment to client satisfaction. Our year-on-year growth and network of repeat clients across all areas of the business are testament to continued success.

Our joinery business is now one of the largest off-standard workshops in Ireland. Its premium product can be seen in the interiors of government buildings and the boardrooms of blue chip companies worldwide. This specialist facility exports to our geographical hubs worldwide, and this year will be re-housed in a new state of the art manufacturing plant and corporate headquarters in Kilcock, Co Kildare.

Sammon Group has commenced implementation of its most ambitious strategy to date - and one which will establish the Group as the pre-eminent global provider of social infrastructure. As part of this strategy - and in a bid to strengthen our brand throughout Europe and the Middle East - Sammon Contracting Limited Abu Dhabi was established in 2009, becoming the largest provider of school accommodation in the region.

This exciting new departure for our Group, has ensured that we continue to grow, despite the economic environment in which we operate. Our team includes highly qualified and motivated professionals in Construction, School Design, Business Development and Finance. In addition, the experience and knowledge of our Directors and Senior Staff ensures that we can deliver an innovative 'Total Building Solution' for each of our clients, with a focus on excellence and attention to detail on every project.

Looking after the safety of this team is a responsibility that our Group takes very seriously. We are committed to the highest possible standards of safety on all our sites, and operate to international standards of health and safety in all geographical locations. We also provide continuous training for all staff to ensure only the most modern, efficient and environmentally sustainable practices are followed.

The past decade has been an exciting time for Sammon Group and the next looks to be equally so. We continue to seek new partners who share our Group's vision and who will contribute to our continued growth and prosperity.
