Society of St. Vincent de Paul Annual Golf Classic

Posted on by michellecoates

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.

Celebrating Pride 2025

Posted on by michellecoates

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.

PJ Hegarty take part in Darkness into Light 2025

Posted on by michellecoates

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.
