Limerick engineering firm secure Amazon Horizon accolade
H&MV Engineering serves blue-chip data centres, renewables, and utility clients
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.”
A specialist in high-voltage electrical engineering, H&MV serves blue-chip data centres, renewables, and utility clients from Limerick.
It also has offices in Thurles, Cork, Dublin and Belfast, as well as at 17 other locations across the world.
The chief executive of Enterprise Ireland Leo Clancy said: “It is exciting to see this highly innovative business go from strength-to-strength creating new jobs here in Ireland and overseas and are worthy winners of this award.”
The award was presented by Minister of State Emer Higgins.
