Half a Century of Lifting Success
Last Friday, September 20th, marked a historic milestone for Kavanagh Crane Hire as we celebrated our 50th anniversary with an Open Day at our headquarters in Craanford, Gorey. It was a day filled with festivity, innovation, and appreciation as we were joined by our valued customers, dedicated staff, supportive family, and friends from both Ireland and abroad.
A Day to Remember
The celebration was not just a reflection of our past but also a showcase of our evolution and growth in the crane hire industry. South East Radio was live on-site, providing coverage of the event and featuring interviews with our founder, Paddy Kavanagh, who started the business in 1973 with just one crane. His vision and determination have been the driving force behind our success, and it was an honor to have him share his story and insights with a broader audience.
Highlights of the Open Day
Our guests had the opportunity to experience firsthand the cutting-edge technology and expertise that Kavanagh Crane Hire brings to the industry:
- Live Demonstrations: We showcased various new crane technologies, including a spectacular display by our flagship 700-tonne crane performing a complex lift.
- Fleet Showcase: Attendees were introduced to the latest additions to our crane fleet, highlighting our commitment to staying at the forefront of the industry with the most advanced and reliable equipment.
- Behind-the-Scenes Tour: Our state-of-the-art maintenance facility opened its doors to visitors, offering a glimpse into the meticulous care and expertise that go into maintaining our fleet.
- Barbecue and Refreshments: No celebration is complete without good food and drink, and our barbecue offered a chance for guests to enjoy delicious refreshments while mingling and sharing stories.
- Mega Customer Draw: The excitement culminated in a mega draw, with many lucky guests walking away with fantastic prizes, adding an extra layer of joy to the day.
A Testament to Loyalty and Support
The large turnout was a testament to the loyalty and continued support we have received over the years, which has been integral to our success. Seeing so many familiar faces and new friends gather to celebrate this significant milestone with us was incredibly rewarding.
Looking to the Future
As we reflect on our 50 years of service, we are grateful for every relationship we have built, project we have completed, and challenge we have overcome. This celebration is not just about looking back but also looking forward to the opportunities and developments that lie ahead. We are excited to continue growing, innovating, and strengthening our relationships with all of you.
