Bidvest Noonan has strengthened its senior leadership team in Ireland with the appointment of Mark Holligan as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for its business.
It follows a period of very strong growth for the business which saw it solidify its leadership position for services such as cleaning, security, and M&E maintenance services. The group, which employs over 27,000 people, has doubled in size in recent years.
A qualified chartered accountant and tax advisor, Holligan brings with him more than 12 years of experience to the role, with expertise in financial planning and analysis, taxation, risk management and compliance, and more recently acquisition integrations.
Holligan has previously worked across various industries including investment banking, technology, and data and analytics. He has international experience in Australia and mainland Europe. Prior to joining Bidvest Noonan, Holligan served as Finance Director for the Irish operations of a multinational data and analytics company, where he also acted as European Accounting Leader.
Holligan succeeds Kathy McDermott who has been promoted to Chief Financial Officer for Bidvest Noonan’s group operations.
Commenting on the appointment, Bidvest Noonan’s CEO for Ireland, Cormac Sheils, said:
“With Mark on board, we are well-positioned to take our business to the next level. His impressive track record and financial acumen make him the perfect fit for our team. I have every confidence he will help us achieve our goals and continue to grow our business in the years ahead.”
Holligan added: “I am delighted to take up this position as CFO at a very exciting time for the business. I look forward to working with my new colleagues across our Irish business. Together, we will build upon the company’s strong foundation and achieve even greater success.”
