Irish engineering firm Mercury has taken part in Pieta House's Darkness into Light (DIL) 2022.

People from across Europe joined forces to fundraise for this initiative, which raises awareness about suicide and gives hope to those impacted.

Mercury has been a proud supporter of Darkness into Light for many years. The firm's success in recent years has led to continued growth, new opportunities and expansion into new markets. They recognise the diversity of the different regions and industries in which they work, and adapt working practices to accommodate those differences.
