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!

Celebrating Pride 2025

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.

 

 

Centenary Spinathon Challenge

Posted on by michellecoates

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.
