Entrepreneurial spirit, technical ability and commitment to excellence are core elements of the corporate ethos. Crescent staff are trained to the highest level, holding technical accreditations for the leading Industry Manufacturers. Crescent Communications has been a dominant player in the Data Centre Market for over 15 years. So much so that people began to look at Crescent as a Data Centre Specialist and not a Structured Cabling Installer. With this in mind, the directors made the decision to appoint Niall Collins in a Business Development Capacity to grow this side of the business in June 2018. Niall Collins has been in the Structured Cabling Industry for over 25 years and has a wealth of knowledge and contacts within the industry. He started his career working in installations before moving into Sales Roles and then Management Roles in Distribution. Since coming on board. Niall has been successful in winning projects in Commercial, Education, Health and Financial sectors. Crescent have also secured Framework Agreements/Maintenance Contracts in the Financial and Semi State Sectors. “When the opportunity came up to take a position with Crescent, it was an easy decision for me to make. I have had a good working relationship with the Directors and Managers of Crescent for over 15 years so I was sure that this was the right move for me. We set out key goals of rebranding and rebuilding the Structured Cabling side of the business and re- establishing Crescent as one of the dominant Data Installers within the industry. This was helped by the relationships that Crescent have had over the years with all the major manufactures in the Country, such as Commscope and Leviton. This culminated in the launch of our new website last month. www.ccl.ie Working with best in class manufactures and solutions, gives Crescent Communications L to R: Eric Rochford, Managing Director, Derek Bonner, Operations Director with Niall Collins, Business Development Manager.
