Mount Charles...
New Era For Home-Grown Group Mount Charles Group these days is a multi-sector services operation with well over 2,000 employees at any one time. But it’s a company which remains family-owned and one which hasn’t forgotten its roots.
First Minister, the Rt. Hon. Arlene Foster, and Junior Minister, Megan Fearon officially open Annon House, the new 10,000 square foot £1.6million headquarters for Mount Charles, along with the company’s Chairman Trevor Annon (right) and Managing Director Cathal Geoghegan.
A
visit to its brand new headquarters on Belfast’s Ormeau Road provides graphic evidence of that. Starting on the ground floor and continuing up the stairway to the top floor executive offices, a specially-commissioned cartoon timeline charts the firm’s history from founder Trevor Annon’s early days in the catering business through to the present day.

Trevor Annon remains at the helm of the business as chairman and two of his sons, Gavin & Chris, are on a new-look management team led by Managing Director, Cathal Geoghegan. The group, with its roots in catering but with divisions spanning cleaning, security and vending, has just moved into its new Belfast headquarters from its longestablished base at Shaftesbury Square in the city centre.
