Heron Bros

The restoration of a late 19th century listed building in Coleraine will provide an important link between the old and the new in the town. Northern Regional College’s impressive new campus at Union Street incorporates the former St Patrick’s Church of Ireland school buildings on Brook St. The campus design is sensitive to the townscape and heritage of the area and Heron Bros, the main contractor for the new campus have restored the building with great craftsmanship and attention to detail with many of the original features being restored.

✏️📍St Kentigerns Academy Tour! 📍✏️ We were thrilled to host students for a site tour of our St Kentigern's Academy project last week! These tours offered 2nd to 5th year students a firsthand look at the extensive work being done and the potential career opportunities within the construction industry. The first tour welcomed students from the Academy's tech department, who are keen to find out more about placements and work experience opportunities next year. The second tour involved the Pupil Voice Group, who had recently engaged in a workshop with our architects. They were excited to see the progress on-site and how their input and ideas from the workshop are being integrated into the project. 💡This significant project at St Kentigern's Academy involves the removal of RAAC and asbestos, and the demolition and reconstruction of over 62% of the existing school. Despite the scale of the project, the school has remained open throughout, with the new building set to reopen in 2026. #construction #edication #communityengagement #heronbros #futureprofessionals #STEMeducation

The College is proud that over 100 construction jobs were created along with over 1000 weeks of training for new apprentices across a range of construction related trades. The new four-storey Causeway Campus will feature a fully integrated entrance to Anderson Park, enabling the park to be re-vitalised as an active, welcoming, and safe outdoor space and further strengthen established links between the College and the town centre. #NRCCauseway

🌈 Pride month at Heron Bros! 🌈 Last week, our offices in Northern Ireland and Scotland organised a fantastic event to celebrate the LGBTQ community and Pride Month! Our Pride celebrations included delicious Pride-themed cakes from local bakeries, alongside educational resources and vital support materials, ensuring our team had access to valuable information and guidance where needed. Most importantly, this event gave us all the opportunity to come together, share experiences, and engage in meaningful conversations about Pride and equality in the workplace. At Heron Bros, we believe in creating a work environment where everyone feels respected, valued, and supported. Heres to Building the Future Together!  🌈 #heronbros #pridemonth #equality #inclusion #diversity #LGBTQ #pridecelebration

Last week, COO Jonathan Buick and Head of Business Development, Giorgio Vanalli attended a site visit to Heron Bros in Banbridge, to see the new Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). BESS capabilities, are able to store renewable energy from wind and solar that would have previously been wasted and release it back into the grid when consumers need it most, thereby reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. A great insight into the technologies used and super networking opportunity. #renewables #battery #BatteryStorage #decarbonisation #NorthernIreland
