Leading property developer supports Guaranteed Irish House initiative, supporting local businesses and sustainability
Guaranteed Irish is delighted to announce that Ballymore, a renowned property developer with deep roots in Ireland, has officially partnered with Guaranteed Irish to champion local businesses and sustainability through the Guaranteed Irish House initiative.
Founded in Kildare in 1982, Ballymore has created 35,000 homes across Ireland, the UK, and Europe, and has heavily invested in Ireland’s construction industry. This new partnership with Guaranteed Irish further demonstrates Ballymore's commitment to bolstering Irish enterprise by enhancing its local supply chain and supporting domestic businesses.
Guaranteed Irish House is an innovative directory that connects developers, specifiers, and contractors with Irish-based suppliers. It covers a comprehensive range of construction products and services, from raw materials to final finishes, ensuring that Ballymore’s future projects will incorporate even more locally sourced goods and services. Currently, 60% of the products used in Ballymore’s developments come from Guaranteed Irish members, and the company aims to significantly increase that figure in the coming years.
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 for Ballymore in Ireland, added:
“Working with Guaranteed Irish aligns with our dedication to sustainability and community engagement. “By tapping into the Guaranteed Irish House directory, we ensure our developments not only meet the highest standards but also positively contribute to the Irish economy and local communities. We are excited to deepen this partnership and increase the use of local products and services in our projects.”
The partnership highlights Ballymore’s ongoing commitment to Ireland, with plans to develop more homes across the country, including a strong footprint in Dublin, Wicklow and Kildare. Ballymore also remains dedicated to supporting cultural and charitable initiatives, alongside their construction efforts.
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.
