"Managing
Director, Martin Stapleton began his career working with his father
Michael in the Farm Building Business. He began his apprenticeship
in 1986 and in 1989 he represented Ireland in the World Skill
Olympics where he finished 3rd behind China and Korea. After this
intensive training, Martin realized that there was a market for
quality metalwork in the construction Industry which could be
manufactured and installed to an extremely high standard, which
was not an "off the shelf" product but instead crafted
to suit each individual project requirement. This metalwork utilized
mildsteel, stainless steel, copper, brass, glass etc and maximised
the fabrication techniques and procedures to produce spectacular
results.
In 1990 Martin set about establishing Stapleton Engineering with his brother
Ollie who took care of the site installations which brought the company all
around Ireland and to England, Sweden, Germany and Holland. Employing just
4 people in 1990, Stapleton Engineering Ltd now employ 27 highly motivated,
skilled and specialist employees, each of whom take great pride in their work
which is evident in the finished projects.
Today Stapleton Engineering Ltd provide the full metalwork package from 3D
working drawings to top class fabrication, delivery and installation. They
welcome everything from pedestrian gates to the most complicated staircases
and they relish a challenging project, however demanding the brief.
