Kirby Bursary

To run alongside other schemes for nurturing talent, such as its successful apprenticeship and graduate programmes, Kirby introduced a bursary programme in 2022. The company awarded bursaries to four female students at third-level institutions across Ireland as part of its ongoing drive towards gender diversity in the fields of engineering and construction. The bursary scheme was open to women studying electrical, mechanical or building services engineering. This offers academic scholarships, along with paid placements on some of Kirby’s international projects with mentorship and guidance from senior engineers.

Community

Kirby has a strong history of leading community and charity projects, and September 2022 saw the inaugural Kirby Way Cycle, a mega-charity event that involved 180 cyclists setting off from Kirby’s headquarters in Limerick and cycling to Dublin via Galway. Participants included employees, friends, families, clients, and supply chain partners. It raised almost €500,000 for Kirby’s chosen charities; the Galway-based National Breast Cancer Research Institute and Self-Help Africa.

Continuing its tradition of supporting those in need, Kirby donated more than €100,000 to charities in Ireland and abroad last Christmas, with Focus Ireland, UNICEF, The Society of St Vincent de Paul and Cliona’s Foundation the recipients of €50,000, €25,000, €15,000, and €12,000, respectively.

Commenting on the company’s achievements and projects, Mark Flanagan, Group Managing Director, Kirby, said, “We’re immensely proud of the huge strides we have made in the past 12 months, not just in terms of delivering top-quality services to clients globally across sectors such as data centres, industrial, life sciences and energy, but also in terms of the ongoing drive towards fostering an inclusive workplace where every staff member feels part of a sustainable, dynamic and progressive team. The camaraderie witnessed at our hugely successful Kirby Way Cycle in September, and our business results across Europe are testament to that.”
