We’re extremely proud to announce that Kent Stainless has been shortlisted in TWO categories at the Family Business Awards.

*Family Business of the Year*
*Manufacturing and Engineering Family Business of the Year*

Since 1982, Kent Stainless has proudly remained family-owned, growing from one generation to the next while staying true to the values and people at the heart of the business.

Being recognised in both categories is a fantastic achievement and, above all, a testament to the dedication and talent of our entire team. It’s our people who make Kent Stainless what it is today.

We’re looking forward to celebrating alongside our fellow finalists in November.

Kent Stainless is proud to continue our partnerships with third-level institutions, providing students with 6–8 month work placements that give them valuable hands-on, real-world experience. Over the past few months, we’ve welcomed this talented group of students studying courses including Mechanical Engineering and Product Design & Technology.

One of our Product Design & Technology students Laragh shared: “During my placement, I’ve gained experience creating marketing content, developing digital models and renders, and seeing engineering and steel fabrication first-hand on the factory floor. It’s been great to explore different areas of the company, gain valuable experience linked to my course and better understand the areas of design that interest me most before my final year.”

Kent Stainless are delighted to support the next generation of engineers and designers and wish all our students continued success in their studies and future careers.

Last Friday evening saw our annual Mick Driscoll Memorial Cup match take place, as the Office team went head-to-head with the Production Floor team.

And in a first for the competition, the Office team finally claimed the cup, coming out on top in a 7–5 victory!

As usual, there were some questionable tactics, along with plenty of good fun and friendly competition between both teams.

Our Golden Goal competition also raised funds for ManUp , a Wexford-based support group dedicated to breaking the stigma around men’s mental health and providing a safe, non-judgemental space where men can talk openly about life’s challenges.

A sincere thank you to all the players and to everyone who came along to support the teams and make the evening such a great success.
