Eastern Region Celebrates 100 years of PJ Hegarty

Posted on by michellecoates

We gathered at the Guinness Storehouse on September 4th to celebrate 100 years of PJ Hegarty with the people who make it all possible, our incredible staff.

A heartfelt thank you to every member of our team for your tireless efforts and dedication over the years. We couldn’t do it without you.

On the night, the staff at the Guinness Storehouse looked after us with their incredible hospitality. We listened to Natalia on the saxophone, which set a fantastic tone for the night. This was followed by live music from Sunset Boulevard that kept the energy high into the early hours. Jamie Skelton also showcased his impressive magic skills, winning over even the biggest skeptics!

Here’s to continuing our journey for the next 100 years.
