Declan52 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 It's been a few years from Sean Quinn lost control of his company and a lot of unsavoury incidents have occurred to try and force the new owners out. I'm surprised that it's taken this long to change names. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 My guess is all the manufacturers of this type of insulation will be re branding and re launching following Grenfell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravelrash Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 You only have to look at the location of Quinn factories to believe the rumours of how Sean made his money...I met his accountant once, he lived in York..nice old fellow but obviously kept his distance from Ireland.

What's wrong with Fermanagh and Co Cavan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravelrash Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Nothing, love Ireland, North and South and spent a lot of time as a Kid there. My father worked for Time Life and was involved in creating replicas of the book of Kells. I was referring to location of border and Quinn businesses.

Declan52 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 His business where in both Co Cavan and Co Fermanagh neither of which I have ever heard being held to the same level as say South Armagh. He was born in Derrylin in Co. Fermanagh that's why he set up there. He started off digging gravel out of his family farm and selling it on. With lots of access to cheap gravel he could then move into cement products and made his fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
