Inside Sisk
‘Meet the people behind the projects’. For 165 years, John Sisk & Son has been building the places where we live, work, play, and pray. Still family-run, the company behind so many iconic projects puts its success down to its people. People with many skills but one goal: to create exceptional places that leave a positive legacy. In ‘Inside Sisk’, we meet the people behind the projects. We hear what drives them, what fulfils them, what it means to be a part of the Sisk family. Their own stories, in their own words.
Inside Sisk
S1: Ep5 - Connection with communities
Since the earliest days of Sisk in the late 1800’s, when the original John Sisk replaced slum dwellings in Cork city with modern, comfortable housing for his workers, a core part of the company’s mission has been to make a positive impact on people and society.
On this episode of Inside Sisk, we meet some of those who are driving forward programmes and initiatives designed to positively impact the communities in which Sisk operates, the families the company builds homes for, and the team members within Sisk itself. These include engaging with community groups and local charities, and hiring people from many different kinds of backgrounds and managing everyone with empathy and understanding.
Our guests include:
· Raluca Ursu, Technical Coordinator at Sisk with responsibility for the community engagement plan at Wembley Park
· Ronan Murphy, Manager of The John G Sisk Training Centre
· Fergal Lalor, Managing Director, Sisk Living
