Larry McGrath has joined the company as operations manager for Ireland, where he will be responsible for developing new business, building brand awareness and overseeing the group’s existing contracts in Ireland.
McGrath has previously held roles with Superquinn and Aramark. Most recently, he was operations manager at Compass Group, specialising in the education sector.
He said: “I’m really pleased to become part of the team at the Mount Charles Group, It’s an exciting time for the business and I’m looking forward to helping the company to grow their client base and develop the offering throughout Ireland.
“I’ve been working in facilities management for many years and what appealed to me about joining Mount Charles is their approach to clients. There are a lot of multinational firms that crowd the support services sector, but the difference is that the Mount Charles Group is homegrown and prides itself on its personal, tailored service.
“That was important to me and having worked with Irish businesses for many years I know it’s important to them too. I’ve seen first hand that there is a gap in the market for a firm with a focus on the customer, but I’ll now be working to change that.”
The Mount Charles Group, which has its head office in Belfast, currently employs more than 1,800 people across Ireland and Great Britain.
