Recently, David Chambers, Cormac Reilly, Johnny McArdle, and Helen Bennett visited The Red Door Project in Drogheda. Members of the team from Platin Works recently ran/walked the Bru Na Boinne 5K in aid of the Red Door Project.  Ollie Mac Gabhainn from The Red Door Project gave the team from Platin Works an extensive tour of premises, which showcased the great work being done. The Red Door Project was established in 2010 and focuses on offering and providing confidential assistance and services in response to individuals, families and the community that are affected by drug and alcohol use.

Yesterday, Platin Works held their Annual Pensioner Party which took place in the Glenside Hotel in Drogheda. There was an amazing turnout, with over 150 people in attendance and everyone had a great time!

When the sun comes out in Limerick, there’s no better way to celebrate than with a classic 99 ice cream while on their break! ☀ 🍦 #Limerick #LimerickWorks

Platin Works hosted a coffee morning this week supporting the Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity. The charity was selected as the partner charity for the Employee Development Programme 2024 (EDP). We were delighted to see such a big turnout and many thanks to Natalie Ryan -MHFA- for taking time to visit Platin and speak about the important work of the charity. Also, a big thank you to Brendan Morris, one of the participants in this year's EDP, for organising the event.

It is great to know that cement made in Platin, just down the M1 from Grange Close in Dundalk, is being used in the concrete for these innovative 3D printed concrete homes.

On Friday the 28th of June, graduates from across Irish Cement and Ireland Materials presented their projects to Senior Management from Irish Cement Limited, Roadstone Ltd., Northstone (NI) Limited, Kemek Ltd. and Ibec Facilitator, Fintan Ryan.
