Sisk Officially Opens New Cork Office

Irish construction giant Sisk has officially opened its new office at City Gate, Mahon in Cork city centre. 

The new office was retrofitted over a four-month period and has capacity for over 100 people. The Sisk – Cork office had previously been based on Kinsale Road since 1967. 

The new office was officially opened by Michael McGrath, EU Commissioner, Gary McGann, Chairman, Sicon Ltd (Sisk Group) and Paul Brown, CEO, Sisk. 

Paul Brown, CEO, Sisk said: "Our roots are firmly in Cork and the move to Mahon is an investment in our people and a vote of confidence for the wider Munster region. This move will enable us to support and attract future local talent into the construction sector.

"Additionally, it is a wider commitment by us to be best prepared to support the Government's recent update to the National Development Plan (NDP) - a bold vision that ramps up public capital investment to an historic €275.4 billion from 2026 to 2035."

Michael McGrath, EU Commissioner added: "With over 165 years of experience and a strong commitment to quality, innovation, safety, and sustainability, Sisk has delivered many vital building projects across Ireland, the UK and throughout Europe. In doing so, it provides valued employment and contributes to economic growth and urban renewal wherever it works.

"Given that it all started for Sisk in Cork in 1859, I am delighted to open Sisk’s new Cork office - a testament to the company's continued close connection with and commitment to Cork and the wider region. I wish the whole team at Sisk continued success."

Previously, in June 2024, Sisk moved over 250 of its staff into its new Irish headquarters in Citywest, Dublin.

The company was recently announced as main contractor for the extension of Center Parcs Longford Forest having previously completed the Dunkettle Interchange Upgrade Scheme and Pfizer in Ringaskiddy over the past 18 months.
