LIMERICK Twenty Thirty (LTT) has announced that its CEO, David Conway, has stepped down from his role.
First appointed in 2017, Mr Conway oversaw LTT’s emergence as a development company to become an organisation with a capitalised value of €1billion of completed, underway, and planned urban renewal and economic projects.
Among the projects that have gotten underway while Mr Conway was at the helm of the company are the Gardens International building on Henry Street, the Opera Square development currently under construction in the city with an expected completion date ahead of the 2027 Ryder Cup, and the advancement of the Cleeves Riverside Quarter development, which is due to move to the planning application stage in early 2025.
The outgoing LTT boss will soon take up his new role of Chief Executive of Louth County Council.
The process to appoint Mr Conway’s replacement will start shortly, a statement from Limerick Twenty Thirty confirmed.
LTT Chairman Conn Murray said that while the company will be sorry to see Mr Conway go, they are happy to see him move onto pastures new.
“This is a bittersweet moment for us. While we lose an outstanding CEO of Limerick Twenty Thirty, this is an opportunity for David and one that we fully accept his desire to take on,” Mr Murray said.
“David brought vision, strategic thinking, decisiveness, and a great sense of camaraderie to his role as chief executive of Limerick Twenty Thirty. He also brought great resilience, which is certainly needed when taking on projects of the scale and complexity that we are developing,” the LTT Chairman added.
Outgoing LTT boss David Conway said that “as a native of Limerick, I was really excited by the prospect of taking on this role seven years ago, simply because of the uniqueness of the entity and the ambition around what it was trying to achieve. I depart this role equally excited by the potential that lies ahead for it.”
“I’m very proud of what we have delivered so far as a team and very proud, indeed, of that team. We would not have the momentum we have were it not for our board and chairmen, who have shared our vision and worked in a true spirit of partnership.”
Director General of Limerick City and County Council, Dr Pat Daly, also wished the outgoing LTT boss well, saying that “David’s strategic thinking and resilience have set a high standard for all of us. We are grateful for his contributions and leadership,
and we are confident that he will bring the same level of excellence to his new position.”
