Clondalkin Builders Providers celebrate 33 years in business with family fun day

By Mary Dennehy

CLONDALKIN Builders Providers is holding a home improvement event and family fun day this week to say ‘thank-you’ to the local community, which helped to keep the company’s doors open during the hard times.

Based on the Ninth Lock Road, opposite the Mill Shopping Centre, Clondalkin Builders Providers is this year celebrating 33 years in business – and its survival through the past 12 to 15 “incredibly difficult” years for those in the construction industry.

Alongside staging the family fun day this Saturday, April 29, the company has also invested in its community through supporting various projects such as the recent Men’s Shed ‘buddy bench’ programme with local schools, which saw the company provide materials and paint.

Employing 35 people, the Irish-owned company also support local football teams and various community-based charities.

Dwayne Holt, marketing representative for Clondalkin Builders Providers, told The Echo: “I think it’s vital that when you’re part of a community as long as we are that you give something back.

“We have also come through an incredibly difficult 12 to 15 years for the construction industry here in Ireland, we went from 80,000 houses being built every year to practically nothing.

“The community and the local business that we have built up helped us to keep our doors open, if it wasn’t for the local community we wouldn’t have survived.

“So, this family fun day is to give something back, let the community know that we’re still here working away and to say thanks”.

Clondalkin Builders Providers ran a home improvement event this week which included a free builders breakfast on Thursday, and on Friday an interiors and exteriors event took place that included a garden paving expert and interior designers and colour consultants.

On Saturday, the family fun day will run from between 10.30am and 1.30pm with ice-cream, face-painting, colouring competitions, special offers, spot prizes and a visit from some of the Dublin players and the Sam Maguire.

“We are a builders’ merchant and also a hardware and DIY shop so have everybody from a builder working on 500 houses to a local resident coming in to buy a bulb”, Dwayne said.

“We’ve built up a very strong customer base over the years and a lot of our business is repeat business, which is something that fills us with pride.

“We have noticed an increase in business over recent times and we are now hoping to build on our customer base.”

Having recently opened a new branch on the north-side of the city, Clondalkin Builders Providers is also hoping to expand its services here on the south-side.
