On August 29th, our Southern Region team came together at the Maryborough Hotel, Douglas, Cork, to celebrate PJ Hegarty’s 100 years in business.
We rolled out the orange carpet for a fantastic evening filled with laughter, trips down memory lane, and appreciation for the incredible people who make our success possible. A big thank you to all our colleagues who joined us in making this special night so enjoyable.
Here’s to 100 years, and to the people who make it all happen.
PJ Hegarty was proud to sponsor the Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVP) Annual Golf Classic, which took place on July 10th at Douglas Golf Club. The event was a fantastic fundraiser, raising vital funds to support individuals and families in need across our communities.
We were especially grateful to our supply chain partners for their generous contributions and support. It was great to see so many familiar faces out on the course for an enjoyable day of golf in aid of a very worthy cause.

This year, we celebrated Pride with a coffee morning across our sites and offices. This allowed us to come together and celebrate being a part of a company that keeps diversity and inclusion at the heart of it’s culture.
As part of this, we’ve also distributed whiteboards, inviting everyone to pledge their respect and support for their colleagues and communities.
At PJ Hegarty, we’re proud to champion a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and free to be themselves, not just during Pride, but every day of the year.
On Wednesday, June 18th, eight PJ Hegarty sites across Ireland took part in our Centenary Spinathon Challenge.
The three-hour event saw four sites from both the Eastern and Southern regions go head to head, in support of two incredible causes.
The Southern Region spun for the Cork University Hospital Neonatal Unit, while the Eastern Region cycled for ASIAM, Ireland’s autism charity.
To keep the energy high, a live leader board tracked the progress of each site in real time, sparking some healthy rivalry as teams raced to rack up the kilometres. For every kilometre cycled, PJ Hegarty donated €10 to each region’s chosen charity. This along with the bragging rights gave the teams an extra push.
A huge well done to everyone who took part and supported this fantastic initiative!
Watch here:
Genevie Rose and Barry Casey presented the funds raised from the Southern Region Spinathon to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit team at Cork University Hospital.
They were joined by members of the Neonatal Unit, including Midwife Miriam Casey, NICU Manager Grainne McNabola, and Consultant Dr. Mmoloki Kenosi, to officially hand over the donation.
On Friday, June 13th, PJ Hegarty proudly sponsored and participated in the Plane Pull Challenge for Ronald McDonald House Charity, in the Casement Aerodrome, Baldonnel. Nineteen other teams joined us in pulling an Irish Air Corps plane, all in support of an incredible cause!
Ronald McDonald House Charities Ireland, a local charity close to our hearts, provides vital support to families with seriously ill children when they need it most.
It was a brilliant day for a great cause, and our team thoroughly enjoyed the challenge, particularly the team-building aspect and the opportunity to come together.
Our EHS department is proud to launch this year’s Health and Wellbeing campaign, Small Changes, Big Difference.
The campaign is about making small manageable healthy changes to our everyday routine, which can make a big difference to our overall health and wellbeing.
Over the coming year, the campaign will promote small practical tips each month, to help make lasting changes while supporting one another along the way. Whether it’s getting more active, eating better, checking in on your mental health, every small change adds up.
On Thursday, May 29th, we celebrated our Centenary in the Southern Region at the Irish Distillers Midleton Distillery Experience in Cork. Commemorating 100 years in the county where it all began made this evening especially meaningful. It was a night to reflect on the journey of PJ Hegarty, the milestones we have achieved since our founding in Cork in 1925, and to celebrate and reminisce with our clients, partners, and friends who have made it all possible.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special occasion, and to all those who have contributed to our journey over the past 100 years. Here’s to continuing that legacy for generations to come!
On the morning of Friday May 9th, our project staff from city-centre sites participated in Pieta’s Darkness into Light Walk. They walked through the heart of Dublin City Centre during sunrise to raise awareness for suicide prevention and mental health awareness. By participating in this event, we hope to help break mental health stigma and encourage those struggling to seek help and support.
Starting from our Ronan Group Real Estate Waterfront South Central project, the walk journeyed past our ongoing Treasury project and our completed IPUT Real Estate Dublin Tropical Fruit Warehouse and Sales Force Tower building. Finishing up at the docks, where they gathered to witness the sun rise over the River Liffey. Symbolising the journey that is taken coming out of a time of struggle in mental health. Darkness into light brings much-needed attention to mental health, we are proud to continuously support such an important cause.

Our team had a fantastic time participating in this year’s Staff Relay Series in Phoenix Park on Thursday, May 22nd.
It was an evening full of energy, encouragement, and great team spirit. Events like these are a brilliant reminder of the camaraderie and connection that make our workplace special.
Thank you to everyone who took part and supported.
On Thursday, May 15th, we had the pleasure of welcoming clients, partners, and friends to the Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin to celebrate a major milestone, 100 wonderful years in business.
It was a special evening reflecting on our journey, the achievements we’ve shared, and the incredible people who have supported us along the way.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to all who have been part of our story over the years. Here’s to the next chapter!
