Congratulations to the Suir Engineering team on being recognised as one of Ireland's Best Managed Companies in a programme run by Deloitte. #dukestreet #suirengineering
𝗦𝘂𝗶𝗿 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱’𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟭𝟳𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝗴𝗮𝗹𝗮 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗻’𝘀 𝗥𝗗𝗦. Ireland’s Best Managed Companies programme, run by Deloitte, promotes and recognises excellence in Irish/Northern Irish owned and managed companies. It is the only awards scheme on the island of Ireland that considers a business’ performance from every perspective. Suir Engineering competed for this designation in a rigorous process that evaluates the calibre of our management abilities and practices. Suir Engineering CEO John Kelly accepted the award along with Head of Strategy Peter Browne, Head of Sustainability Ellie Walshe, Head of Finance Danny O'Brien, Claire Cusack HR Director and HR Business Partners Laura Mullin and Andrea Swift. “We were absolutely delighted with the accolade, not least because it is great to have people from outside the business take a look and point out the things you didn’t even realise you were doing well,” said CEO John Kelly. “We have put a lot into the business in the last few years and to be included in the Best Managed Companies awards meant two things for us: that we have succeeded in having good leadership and controls, and that it is a good place to work. “It’s really nice for all of us to know that we’re working in a company that’s doing the right thing, for our employees and as a business.” Our thanks to Deloitte, the programme sponsors AIB, the @UCD Michael Smurfit Business School and the Business Post.

Duke Street is pleased to announce the sale of Great Rail Journeys, the leading provider of picturesque luxury tours to Vitruvian Partners . Great Rail Journeys was founded in York, England in 1973 as a family-run business focused on rail tours for UK travellers in the UK and around Europe. Acquired by Duke Street in 2018, the business has gone from strength to strength in recent years, growing total transaction values from £88m in 2018 to £175m this year by significantly extending its range of tours, team and source markets to also become a major player in the US market, and for American travellers exploring the world with Great Rail Journeys tours and guides. Jason Lawford, Partner, Duke Street, commented: “Great Rail Journeys has been a highly successful investment for Duke Street. Under our ownership, we have supported the business to unlock its full potential through several growth initiatives. Together with an exceptional management team, we have implemented a digital transformation programme, expanded the business to the US through a strategic acquisition, diversified into the river cruise and luxury travel markets, and consolidated the brand portfolio. Profits have since doubled, and the business's bottom line continues to accelerate. We wish the new owners and the management team behind this well-loved travel brand the very best for the future.” Click here to read the full article: https://lnkd.in/e6NQghdx #DukeStreet #GreatRailJourneys #PrivateEquity
