What does it take to scale a business from a one-room laboratory in Kerry to 4 state-of-the-art facilities nationwide?
This week, we had the opportunity to share our journey with the Minister for Enterprise, Peter Burke, during his visit to Southern Scientific.What was the purpose of the visit? Understanding the unique needs of Irish SMEs.
We’re grateful for Peter’s time and his commitment to listening to businesses on the ground. Government funding has played a vital role in our growth. The Local Enterprise Offices helped get us off the ground 30 years ago, and now, as an Enterprise Ireland client, we’ve grown to a team of 85+.
Our mission has always been to protect the environment, and the health of our customers and families. And government support has been crucial in turning that vision into reality. During Peter’s visit, we discussed:
- Connectivity: Our sample technicians are on the road every day, collecting water samples nationwide to ensure quality is monitored effectively. Ensuring road connectivity between our hubs in Kerry, Galway and Kildare to the rest of the country is vital. As it is for so many other businesses.
- Balanced Regional Growth: The importance of policies that support the development of a̲l̲l̲ regions across Ireland, including rural areas.
Southern Scientific’s journey proves what’s possible with the right support, and we’re excited about what’s next.
