constructive management of both very successful schemes.
I have worked with Tom Enright for 30 years in my capacity as Manager and Director of Malachy Walsh and Partners. Together, we would have worked on many key projects with Manor West Retail Park being the flagship development. Tom’s contribution to these projects was always significant, always professional and at all times recognised the need for the highest possible standard in building design and execution. His widespread knowledge of the building industry, his knowledge of all stages of the process, from initial inception, through design, planning, detailed design, procurement and construction, are all invaluable experience in any new role he adopts going into the future. MWP would have no hesitation in working and co-operating with Tom Enright in any future undertakings
Tom Enright has been known to me as a professional associate and friend over a period of twenty years. We have worked conjointly on several contracts wherein his excellent input has been invaluable and most helpful, even allowing that we were, in some cases, in contractual opposition to each other.
He has, through that period, shown a high level of integrity and intelligence and was always proactive towards effecting beneficial and prompt outcome to issues on which we were jointly involved. He is in addition a dedicated caring family man whose actions have set a standard for younger people to follow.
For more than 15 years, RPS has worked with Tom Enright, in his role as Project Manager on a number of significant residential and commercial planning projects. I have found Tom to be extremely professional, diligent, meticulous and very focused on delivering on time and on or below budget. That, coupled with an affable and personable character, makes Tom a very well respected all rounder, and an asset on any team.
I have known Tom for 28 years. Regarding Manor West Retail Park in particular, including www.manorwesthotel.ie Tom's contribution throughout in terms of (1)overall strategy (2) interaction with key players (3) securing the optimal planning grant and (4) project managing the onsite building works and fit-out contracts, was central to the overall success of the development. Recognising Tom's passion for success throughout all of his work alongside high professional standards, I have no hesitation in recommending him in any project which he will take on.
Tom managed, very successfully, the extensive package of works comprising the refurbishment and fit-out of the offices and manufacturing plant of Heimbach Ireland, total value of the completed works being c.€16m. Tom brought integrity, dedication, enthusiasm and personalised service to our project. He has built an excellent reputation for himself and his team in terms of delivering both quality and service.
