A PLASSEY-based engineering firm has won a top business award from tech
giant Amazon.
H&MV Engineering won a Horizon Award from Amazon at a ceremony in
Dublin.
The company, which last year pledged to create 700 new jobs at its
headquarters in the Plassey Business Park, was recognised for its
design and construction solutions across data centres, wind farms and
solar and battery projects.
Now in its second year, the Horizon Award aims to recognise firms whose
owners have helped to improve employment in Ireland or exported their
skills or products to other regions and markets.
The chief executive of H&MV PJ Flanagan said: “Ever since we started
working with Amazon in 2013, this has created many different jobs and
roles in engineering, project management and a number of supporting
jobs in our Irish offices. The support provided to us has allowed us to
establish a presence globally. We are delighted to have been given the
Horizon Award this year and it is testament to the hard work and
commitment shown by everyone associated with the company.”
