Shirley Bowman will be moving into the role of Managing Director of Etag Fixings Ireland and Etag Fixings UK.

She said: “The last five months have been tough for everyone including the construction industry in general, however, it has adapted hugely for the safety of all.

“At Etag, we have shown that we can quickly source materials and innovative products for our customers. Over the coming years, we would like to continue strengthening relationships with our suppliers and source products that can change and enhance the construction industry.”

Shaun Bonner will now step into the role of Group Sales Director, leading two dynamic sales teams in Ireland and the UK.

He said: “Sales have continued to grow year on year for us, even with lockdown, Etag are still on course to hit our 2020 targets.”

Going forward Etag will intensify its interests in M&E support, containment and modular fabrication, whilst continuing to excel in drylining, façade and building materials supply.

Etag was founded by Paul Bonner and Damien Lynch over 15 years ago.

Bonner said: “Over the years, we have expanded our product range from just fixings to having five main product divisions based on the needs of our customers.

“Etag have become known for their personable team’s expertise, and working with their customers to supply quality products to fulfil the project requirements at a time to suit.”

Lynch added: “Last year, we celebrated 15 years in business. Paul and I are proud of what we have achieved over the years with Etag.

“Steering the company through the recession was hard but it showed what Etag is best at, flexibility, innovation and team spirit.

“We continually work with our customers, investigating what they require and then sourcing it for the right price. Now is the right time for Paul and myself to step back but continue to guide Etag into its next stage of growth.”

The senior management team now also includes Dave O’Reilly (Sales Manager Ireland), Vince Hanley (Sales Manager UK),  Gerard Gleeson (Financial Controller), Katya Mooney (Operations Manager Ireland), Ed Kelly (Operations Manager UK), Jana Rejtharova (Group HR Manager), and Kelly Gartland (Group Marketing Manager).
