The Salesforce Tower in Dublin is the latest in a string of excellent wins for the Ireland team.
An urban campus of four interconnected buildings, the site is located on North Wall Quay within Dublin’s vibrant Silicon Docks, overlooking the River Liffey.
Employees of Salesforce – the customer relationship management software Ideal Standard invested in in 2019 – are due to start moving into the 430,000 square foot campus in mid-2021.
The contractors for the scheme are PJ Hegarty and we are supplying through our merchant partner Davies, the largest individual account for the Ireland team.
With a value to the business of €200k, the win includes more than 1,000 individual products, including Concept Freedom wall hung toilet and back rests, Contour 21 toilets, Contour and Ceratherm showers, Alder cleaner sinks and a large quantity of Contour 21 grab rails and supports.
These are shared between three office buildings and a hotel which occupies the fourth structure in the development.
The reality of supplying large projects during the COVID-19 pandemic meant that we did not win the full specification.
However, Specification Manager Triona McHugh said: “On a positive note, our specified products were high margin and because of my close working relationship with the architect no alternatives were considered.
"We got our first order last month and the supply should continue throughout 2021.”
Another major win is a new £33m 400-bed COVID-19 facility (above) being built at University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff.
It is being built to take over from the ‘Dragon’s Heart’ hospital, which we also supplied, which was built at the Principality Stadium earlier this year but is being decommissioned this month.
Field Sales Manager Steve Parker said: "Chris Golding has a very strong relationship with the installer on the project, Whitehead Building Services.
“He helped them shape the specification in a very short period of time before the order was placed.
"Whiteheads plan is to have everything installed by the end of November.”
