Darren Heelan
Hi, my name is Darren Heelan. I am an electrician from Cork. I served my apprenticeship with O Laoire Electrical from Cill na Martra, County Cork. During my apprenticeship training I learned a lot, benefitting from the team's wealth of experience. A strong emphasis on neatness was instilled in me, a value I've carried through to the present day. We always used Hager, as the boards have good space and it's easy to keep everything in its place. Delighted to be shortlisted for installation of the year.
Gearoid Sweetnam, LC Electrical
My name is Gearoid Sweetnam, I’m 24 years old from Innishannon, Cork. I’m working as an electrician with 6 years now. Since finishing my apprenticeship I am now working with LC Electrical from Innishannon. The majority of the work we do is domestic and commercial along with a small bit of industrial work. My typical work day involves first fixing, second fixing, fault finding, testing and teaching apprentices. My favourite and most satisfying part of my job is installing a Hager consumer unit and keeping it nice and tidy. We would always use Hager materials as it looks well and we find it the most reliable to work with. The fuse board that I entered in the competition was from one of many houses that we wired and I was delighted to win a set of the blue Hager screwdrivers as I had my eye on them for a while, so thanks to Hager for that! I take great pride in my work, down to the last detail and always enjoy a good challenge.
Fionn Coakley, Coakley Electrical
Fionn Coakley is my name, owner of Coakley Electrical Services Ltd in West Kerry. My father John has over 40 years experience in the industry and I have been taking it over from him over the past number of years, while he’s winding down. We always strive to give the best possible service to our clients with great attention to detail. We like to use Hager 16kVA enhanced boards where possible, they are very impressive space wise and the push in terminals are a game changer for speeding up the process.
Henry Deane, Henry Deane Electrical
Henry from Henry Deane Electrical LTD here. A company I established in 2020 mainly specialising in residential and agricultural at the time. However, as time went on we began to expand into the commercial, EV & Solar PV sectors. Gaining us vast experience and meeting some great contractors/clients along the way.
As the company grows year on year, we pride ourselves on providing high-quality workmanship and service to all our clients. With that, installing the Hager brand on our jobs has proved to be very beneficial for us. Great products, great value, no call-backs, no brainer!

I completed my apprenticeship with this company and continue to work there. I started my apprenticeship in 2021 and became fully qualified in January 2026.

James Carraher, Carraher Electrical
I'm James from Carraher Electrical. We are a small family run Electrical Contractors who work in the Dublin area. We pride ourselves on our high standands and therefore only use materials we see fit to ensure we can adhere to this. Some years ago when I took over Carraher Electrical my first decision was to implement the primary use of Hager products for second fixing and for all consumer units. This decision has benefited us greatly as it has sufficiently reduced our customer call backs. We have numerous property management clients with a large number of emergency works and we have in the past encountered problems with many other manufacturer's RCBOs. Our Hager Rep is always available and on the other end of the phone and the technical team are easily messaged on whatsapp for any technical information needed.
Ross Foley , Micheál Mullins Electrical
My name is Ross Foley. I am 25 years old from Carlow. I work for Micheál Mullins Electrical Ltd., based in Co. Carlow. I served my apprenticeship through this company and I have continued to work with them. I started my apprenticeship in 2021 and qualified in 2025. The majority of the work we do is domestic and commercial, with a small bit of industrial. One of my favourite things to do in the trade are consumer units. There is nothing more satisfying in the trade than completing a tidy board. In August 2025 I won the install of the month and I was delighted to receive my prize of the Hager screwdrivers. I have had my eye on them for years. We use Hager on all our installs as we find it the most spacious and reliable to use.
