THE Limerick branch of one of the big four accounting firms has appointed a new lead partner.
Mark Hegarty was appointed as Limerick Lead Partner in EY’s Limerick office.
Mark recently moved from EY in Cork to take up the prestigious role in the Treaty City where he will lead the fast growing Limerick office, which supports clients across the Mid West and further afield.
Mr Hegarty joined EY in 2019 and has over 20 years experience in the accounting industry.
Limerick’s EY office has over 150 employees, including 10 partners in the Mid West, and looks after areas such as assurance, tax, consulting and strategy, and transactions.
The company has been in Limerick since 1980, and is currently based in Harvey’s Quay.
Commenting on his new role, Mr Hegarty said: “I am delighted to take up the role of leading EY Limerick through our next growth phase in a thriving city and region.”
“With continuing investment, a dynamic indigenous entrepreneurial sector, and a highly skilled local workforce in the Mid West, Limerick’s growing reputation of being a first-class location to live, work, and do business continues to be front and centre in its success story,” he said.
Mr Hegarty continued: “Limerick and the wider region are well known as a hub for life sciences, healthcare, advanced manufacturing, and technology, to name but a few sectors. It has established itself as a significant R&D hub and is home to a strong public sector.”
“Together with a deep talent pool, world-class universities and enviable aviation and other infrastructure, this combines to create a vibrant business ecosystem that is only getting stronger each year,” he concluded.
