A Galway-based construction firm showed plenty of vision to shrug off the recession and expand in the UK.
Emerging from the rubble of the property market collapse, Galway start-up Vision-Built is now exporting light-gauge steel structures for hotels, apartment complexes and housing developments to the UK.
Winner of this year’s National Enterprise Export award, the company has been operating since 2013 and now employs 25 staff in Ireland and five in the UK.
Company co-founder and managing director Gerry McCarthy sees huge opportunities in the recovering UK housing market and expects to double turnover this year.
