of success and innovation: of building an impressive project portfolio by

and internationally – and delivering high end Mechanical; Electrical; Fire

“Over the past 40 years Mercury has grown into one of the largest

budget” and still remaining a privately owned company.
In its own words: “Mercury aspires to be the most successful
multidisciplinary engineering contractor in every sector and geographical
area in which we operate.
“However to achieve these standards of excellence we need to have the
right team in place.
“We see our employees as the solid foundation that has ensured the
continued success of Mercury Engineering over the years.”
Alluding to challenges faced by the country as a whole in recent years,
the company says:
“Although no one person could have envisaged the level of recession
that we experienced in the Irish market, quick reactions – and the
implementation of a revised Business Strategy ensured Mercury
maintained their position.”
Further expansion into the European construction market also ensured
Mercury’s growth.
“Our establishment in Europe has been hard fought but we have
managed to establish ourselves as a market leader within this region as
well as our home market”, Eoin Vaughan, Chief Executive, Mercury
Group, tells Construction.
The company list of prestigious clients is testimony to this with high
