PRIDE IN WHAT WE DOBefore I start my review of our last 6 months, I want to highlight and acknowledge firstly the people power behind the Dornan brand- the people who make us who we are.Personally, it’s great to come to work everyday with a sense of pride that I work with the people I have with me in Dornan. From the Trades, Site Supervision, Project Management, our Engineers and of course the office staff in our locations- without their effort, intelligence, inspiration and above all, sense of duty and pride to deliver safe quality projects, Dornan would not be the success that we are. On behalf, of my fellow directors, you our clients and myself, I want to thank our people (past and present) for making us who we are.

2011-aninterestingyearAswecometothecloseoftheyear,itcertainlyhasbeinginterestingdoingbusinessthisyear.With thesuccessfulcompletionof theTiconaProject inFrankfurtand thenearcompletionof thePembrokePowerStation, thechallengehasbeingfinding replacementprojects for2012.Whilstour traditionalmarketssuchasthePharmaceuticalsectoretc.havehadcapitalexpendituredecline,weareluckytohavefoundanicheinnewexcitingmarketssuchasWastetoEnergyand thecontinuingboominDataCentreDevelopments.Wehaverecentlyhandedovera facility inSurrey foroneof themost recognisablenamesintheFinancialServicesIndustryandnowjuststartinganotheroneforanotherFinancialheavyweight inSheffield.Added to this is therecentawardoftheElectricalServicesonanewDataCentreinIrelandforoneoftheGlobesmostrecognisablenames,meansDornanarenowconsideredoneofEurope’spremierdeliveryspecialistsinthisfield.
