Ballymore Commits to a Guaranteed Irish Supply Chain for New Developments
Leading property developer supports Guaranteed Irish House initiative to promote sustainability and local businesses.
Guaranteed Irish is delighted to announce that Ballymore, a leading property development company, is supporting the Guaranteed Irish House initiative and is committed to utilising a Guaranteed Irish supply chain for its Irish development projects. This partnership highlights Ballymore’s dedication to sustainability and supporting local businesses in Ireland.
Guaranteed Irish members are appraised by an independent appraisal board and assessed on their commitment to quality jobs, support for local communities, and the value they add to Ireland. This rigorous process ensures that only businesses that genuinely contribute to the Irish economy and give back to their local area, carry the Guaranteed Irish symbol.
Guaranteed Irish House is an innovative online directory of construction products and services designed for specifiers and contractors. It encompasses all elements of the supply chain necessary for residential and commercial projects, from raw materials to final furnishings, all sourced from Guaranteed Irish members. This initiative sustains enterprise and jobs in communities across Ireland.
Ballymore’s current projects already incorporate approximately 60% of products and services from Guaranteed Irish members. Through this new commitment, Ballymore aims to increase this percentage significantly by considering more Guaranteed Irish members as part of its supply chain or encouraging their existing suppliers to join the Guaranteed Irish network. This strategic collaboration is set to bring the Guaranteed Irish House to life in Ballymore’s future projects.
Brid O’Connell, CEO of Guaranteed Irish, commented on the partnership: “We are thrilled to have Ballymore on board with the Guaranteed Irish House initiative. Ballymore’s commitment to integrating a Guaranteed Irish supply chain into their projects is a significant step towards promoting sustainability and supporting local businesses. This collaboration exemplifies the essence of what Guaranteed Irish stands for—trust, provenance, and community support.”
Patrick Phelan, Managing Director Ireland of Ballymore, added: “Our partnership with Guaranteed Irish aligns perfectly with our core values of sustainability and community support. By leveraging the Guaranteed Irish House directory, we can ensure that our developments not only meet high standards but also contribute positively to the Irish economy and communities. We look forward to deepening our relationship with Guaranteed Irish and increasing the presence of a local chain in our projects.”
Guaranteed Irish has been a national symbol of trust and provenance since 1974, supporting over 2,500 member businesses across Ireland. By collaborating with companies like Ballymore, Guaranteed Irish continues to champion local businesses and sustainable development practices.
