North Tipperary business celebrates expansion along with their longest-serving staff member


Chadiwcks in Nenagh unviled its upgraded branch recently, as well as celebrating John Shanahan who’s recently marked an impressive 25 years with the business
Chadwicks recently unveiled its newly upgraded Nenagh branch, building on almost 50 years of serving customers in the area with an enhanced offering for trade and DIY customers.
First opened in 1977, Chadwicks Nenagh has been part of the local community for almost five decades. Today, the branch is supported by an experienced 10-strong team, with plans to expand the team in 2027. Among its longest-serving team members is John Shanahan, who marks an impressive 25 years with the business this year.
The branch upgrade builds on that strong local foundation, with the addition of 1,500 new product lines, bringing the total range available at the branch to more than 7,000. The expanded offering includes new ranges across plastering, tiling and workwear, alongside an extended selection of hand and power tools. A new showroom also gives customers the opportunity to explore a wider range of home improvement options in person.
To celebrate the relaunch, Chadwicks welcomed customers to the branch on November 5th, with representatives from leading suppliers such as Bostik, Keylite, Toolbank and Tucks Fasteners, joining the local team for a day of in-branch activity. Exclusive relaunch offers will also run in branch from 2–14 November.
Patrick Atkinson, CEO of Chadwicks Group, said: “As Chadwicks Nenagh approaches its 50th anniversary, this upgrade reflects our continued commitment to the local community and ensures customers have the choice, expertise and service they need. The branch has built strong relationships in Nenagh over many years, and this upgrade puts it in a great position for the years ahead.”
Kevin Ryan, branch manager at Chadwicks Nenagh, added: “Our team is incredibly proud of the relationships we’ve built with customers in Nenagh over the years, and John’s 25 years of service is a great reflection of the experience and local knowledge we have within the branch. While customers will find plenty that’s new, the personal service, local knowledge and expertise that we are known for remain very much at the heart of the branch.”
