The facilities services provider has bolstered its senior leadership team in Ireland with the appointment of Mark Holligan as Chief Financial Officer for its business.
It follows a period of very strong growth for the business which saw it solidify its leadership position for services such as cleaning, security, and M&E maintenance services. The group, which employs over 27,000 people, has doubled in size in recent years.
A qualified chartered accountant and tax advisor, Holligan brings with him more than 12 years of experience to the role, with expertise in financial planning and analysis, taxation, risk management and compliance, and more recently acquisition integrations.
Holligan has previously worked across various industries including investment banking, technology, and data and analytics. He has international experience in Australia and mainland Europe. Prior to joining Bidvest Noonan, Holligan served as Finance Director for the Irish operations of a multinational data and analytics company, where he also acted as European Accounting Leader.
Commenting on his new appointment, Holligan said: “I am delighted to take up this position as CFO at a very exciting time for the business. I look forward to working with my new colleagues across our Irish business. Together, we will build upon the company’s strong foundation and achieve even greater success.”
Bidvest Noonan’s CEO for Ireland, Cormac Sheils, said: “With Mark on board, we are well-positioned to take our business to the next level. His impressive track record and financial acumen make him the perfect fit for our team. I have every confidence he will help us achieve our goals and continue to grow our business in the years ahead.”
Holligan succeeds Kathy McDermott who has been promoted to Chief Financial Officer for Bidvest Noonan’s group operations.
With the current economic crisis resulting in higher prices and more of a squeeze on resources, FMs need to ensure that they have robust building and maintenance services in place to control costs and reduce the need for emergency repairs. When it comes to drainage and plumbing there are also the challenges of dealing with extreme weather, from droughts to flooding, the need to meet stringent regulations and to avoid causing environmental damage.
UK drainage specialist, Metro Rod, has launched a survey which explores the main areas of interest for FMs in maintaining drainage and plumbing, including how they currently assess their supply chains to ensure they’re working with partners that meet the highest possible standards and provide value for money.
The results will be published online so that you can see how you compare to others within the sector.
The survey should take just 5-10 minutes of your time, and as a thank you, you will be entered into a prize draw, where one lucky winner will be picked at random to receive a £100 Amazon voucher.
