Ecological Building Systems has appointed Samantha Legget as Head of Marketing and Ronan Kirwan FCCA as Financial Controller for the UK and Ireland.
Leggett brings more than 20 years' marketing experience across a wide range of sectors, with a career spanning strategic consultancy and senior in-house roles, including 360 Growth Partners, Connect Physical Health, and Craghoppers.
Having worked with Ecological Building Systems as a strategic marketing advisor, helping to shape its UK and Ireland marketing strategy, she now joins the business to lead its delivery.
Legget, Head of Marketing at Ecological Building Systems, said: "I'm excited to be working with a brilliant team, our supplier partners and the wider industry to inspire better building and encourage more sustainable approaches to construction.
"With the challenges of climate change, energy costs and the need to improve both new and existing buildings, what we do is increasingly relevant to everyone.
"Ecological is a genuinely values-led business, with people who care deeply about what they do and an incredible depth of technical knowledge. This role gives me the opportunity to combine something I love, marketing, with work that can have a positive impact on people and the planet."
Kirwan, a Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, joins with 30 years' experience in finance. Based in Athboy, County Meath, he oversees finance for the company's UK and Ireland operations.
Throughout his career, Ronan has held senior finance and leadership positions with international businesses including Oracle, Opera Mediaworks and Hiab, gaining extensive experience in financial management, business transformation and strategic growth.
More recently, his work as a fractional CFO and business consultant has seen him support businesses across a range of sectors, bringing a broad commercial perspective to his new role at Ecological Building Systems.
Kirwan, Financial Controller for the UK and Ireland, said: "The main attraction for me was the culture of the company. Ecological Building Systems treats employees, customers and suppliers alike with respect, dignity and gratitude, which I believe are key factors in its success. I am looking forward to helping the business grow to its full potential and see it achieve even greater success in the future."
Penny Randell, UK Director at Ecological Building Systems, said: "We are delighted to welcome Samantha and Ronan to the team. They both bring very different, but equally important, skills to the business and we are looking forward to them playing a key role in the company's future growth and development."
