2008 -
Another year has gone by and there has certainly been a wind of change in the industry and the economy in general. Over the past few months the word 'recession' has been whispered in many quarters. With the well-documented credit crisis featuring across all sectors of the media that 'whisper' has now changed into a 'roar'. The mood in the industry is most definitely one of consolidation and caution.
Our industry will need to ensure that it operates at a lean and efficient level. The team at Walsh is highly conscious of the prevailing winds and the emphasis for us in the forthcoming months has to be one of value for money combined with continued high levels of service and excellence in engineering. Still of great importance is our consideration of the carbon footprint on all projects. There is also no doubt that we have to concentrate more than ever on providing our clients with value engineering.
The team at Walsh work very hard to meet the increasing criteria and standards set by both the clients and government legislation. I am certain that everyone here will rise to these challenges and adapt to the changing market-place.
2006 -
The last 12 months have been an exciting time for Walsh; the company has continued to expand in size and our client base has increased as a result. This year sees the company's 20th anniversary - over this period Walsh has established itself on its reputation for hard-work, integrity and innovation.
The next 12 months will be another exciting challenge for Walsh, although the priority remains to offer a quality service with tailor-made solutions for the flexibility required by our clients.
