Construction News Image

John Paul Construction brought colleagues and their families together in June for a Family Fun Day at Dublin Zoo, focusing on connection, laughter and adventure beyond the workplace.

The company said the gathering aimed to nurture a strong, supportive community and to recognise the value of spending quality time with loved ones outside work.

Across the weekend, a varied programme catered for all ages. Children had their faces painted as their favourite animals before heading outdoors for a live magic show. Afterwards, they collected goodie bags packed with snacks, bubbles and binoculars to continue their animal-spotting around the zoo.

To round off the day, every child received a voucher to spend on a souvenir in the gift shop.

John Paul Construction thanked the team at Dublin Zoo for their hospitality and everyone who attended, adding that it looks forward to more opportunities to connect, celebrate and #GoFurtherBuildSmarter together.
