Our story
Built to last
Established in 2004 by our Managing Director Brendan Carty, Shannonside has grown from a single site operation with six men to a multiple site operation with a workforce of close to 500.
The reputation we have across the sector has been built on our experience and knowledge after many decades working in the construction industry. The development of the business was accelerated by the appointment of Sean Nash as Commercial Director in 2013. The two directors working alongside a newly formed management team, have nurtured the essential relationships that have driven the business forward and enabled Shannonside to enjoy a period of sustained growth.
Our people, approach and processes provide us with the expertise to be able to respond to client needs and requirements. We strive to deliver award winning quality on our infrastructure, housing schemes and commercial projects.

Building relationships
Our aim is to develop and establish long-term relationships that are mutually beneficial with all those with whom we have a business relationship. Our clients who are our strategic and long term partners, our supply chain and everyone who works with us.
