Randridge Group acquires Don O’Malley & Partners Randridge Group, the leading supplier of electrical, instrumentation and automation services, has acquired Don O’Malley & Partners, the long-established design, engineering and consultancy business based in Limerick. While a major development that will undoubtedly enhance and reinforce the services provided by both companies, Don O’Malley& Partners will continue to operate as a stand-alone operation. Over the past number of years Randridge has transitioned to become a market-leading supplier of complex and innovative engineering solutions to the energy, petrochemical and heavy industries across Europe, Africa and the Caspian regions. Renowned for delivering excellent quality in construction, this acquisition will allow it to expand its overall offering to include quality engineering services. Don O’Malley & Partners was established in 1967 and since then has earned an outstanding reputation for delivering professional engineering services and high-quality design across all industry sectors. Today it is one of Ireland’s leading consulting engineering practises dealing primarily in mechanical and electrical design services. “The acquisition by Randridge enhances still further the proposition we can offer to our existing and prospective clients,” says Liam Kavanagh, General Manager, Don O’Malley & Partners. “It also brings us one step closer to achieving our objectives of delivering complete turnkey solutions to meet our clients’ needs.”

“It is clear that the environment and carbon emissions will be key drivers in the coming years”, commented Charlie Quinn, CEO, Randridge Group. “This acquisition creates an opportunity for us to explore projects in renewables (wind/solar), battery and energy storage, and CCS (carbon capture and storage). It will also accelerate our growth trajectory in these areas. “We welcome the staff of Don O’Malley to the Randridge team and look forward to integrating our business models. This will achieve greater success by offering an enhanced service to clients over the coming months and years. The joint effort and enhanced offering will also allow us to scale up, grow both businesses, and look at bigger, more challenging, projects. This will result in stable and secure longterm employment for all our personnel.”
In conclusion Liam Kavanagh, now General Manager of Don O’Malley & Partners said: “This is indeed a wonderful opportunity for both companies to embrace one another’s expertise, and to open exciting new horizons and opportunities across a broad spectrum of engineering design and construction. With combined knowledge, expertise and enthusiasm, we can bring added value to a range of clients by providing design-and-build engineering solutions under the one umbrella. Together, we can offer our clients innovative and sustainable design solutions that will have a positive effect on the environment by reducing carbon emissions. We look forward to working together as a team and meeting new challenges in the built environment.” Contact: Liam Kavanagh, General Manager, Don O’Malley & Partners.
