Kingspan directly employs 900 people in Ireland and has manufactured products at its Irish sites since the 1980s. The first employee to feature as an innovator on Kingspan Insulation's Irish website is Business Development Manager, Brett O'Sullivan. He believes that although Kingspan is a multinational company, in its Irish facilities it has managed to maintain its 'family values'. Over the years, Kingspan has grown phenomenally, with operations in over 70 countries and more than 10,000 employees. It can be easy to forget that its roots are firmly planted in Irish soil. But Kingspan's headquarters are still situated in Kingscourt, Co.Cavan - the town where the business first started back in 1965. 'Meet our Innovators' looks to remind customers of Kingspan's Kingscourt roots. Kingspan was started by Eugene Murtagh from the backyard of his family business, Murtagh's Pub - just a stone's throw away from the company's current headquarters. Over the past 50 years, the brand has expanded on a global level, but today local employees are as important as ever to the company. Some have been with the company for decades and their knowledge is extremely valuable. The 'Meet our Innovators' campaign aims to highlight this. You can see the first video interview released at part of 'Meet our innovators' here.
