Breaking New Ground: Reynaers Ireland Embarks On An Ambitious Renovation
Behind the landmark stone walls of the Reynaers Irish headquarters in Enniscorthy a lot is happening. The company is embarking on a year-long renovation and extension of its offices and production facility, increasing storage capacity by 50% and sympathetically bringing this historic building up to the highest modern standards of safety and comfort.
After an extremely successful period of growth in the Irish market, in 2018 Reynaers was named Wexford SME of the Year and was shortlisted nationally for an IDA Award for Excellence in Regional Investment- coinciding nicely with the decision to expand the company's Irish base.
The wonderful old stone building which houses the company offices started life in the early 1800's as a Jameson distillery. It is now undergoing a complete facelift which will see its original features preserved, while at the same time bringing the office facilities into the 21st century. The factory is also being expanded and re-organised, with an adjacent green-field site acquired to allow for 50% more storage and production space. Reynaers Ireland MD Pat Bevan commented, “This significant investment in Enniscorthy is a real vote of confidence from the Reynaers Group. We want to ensure that the calibre of our premises reflects the expertise and quality of what is an award-winning Irish operation.”
Enabling works have commenced this week, with the main contract commencing in early December and due to take around 12 months. The building work is being carried out by Waterford contractor Nevin Construction, to designs developed by Conroy Architects in Wexford. Business will continue as usual while the project is underway.
