Glenstal Advanced Engineering

Dear Members of the Board,

I am writing to express my serious interest in the Executive position with Glenstal Advanced Engineering. Given your focus on strengthening governance, scaling manufacturing operations, and expanding European market reach, I welcome the opportunity to contribute my background in enterprise leadership, operational restructuring, and cross-border commercial growth.

In my current capacity as Chief Executive Officer at Carrigmore Industrial Solutions, I lead overall strategic direction, governance, and commercial execution for an industrial engineering organisation of 420 employees across Ireland and the United Kingdom. During this tenure, I delivered a 28 percent increase in annual turnover over four years by expanding specialist manufacturing services into Northern European markets. Furthermore, I directed two bolt-on acquisitions valued at 14 million euros, successfully integrating operational supply chains and shared services within nine months while establishing lean manufacturing workflows that reduced production downtime by 19 percent.

This executive mandate builds upon my earlier work as Chief Operating Officer at Lee Valley Precision Systems, where I oversaw multi-site operations generating 65 million euros in annual output and renegotiated European supplier frameworks to reduce operating expenditures by 3.2 million euros annually. Supported by my qualification as a Chartered Director through the Institute of Directors Ireland and my fellowship with Chartered Accountants Ireland, I maintain an active commitment to disciplined capital allocation, enterprise risk management, and rigorous board reporting.

I welcome the opportunity to discuss how my commercial leadership and operational governance can support Glenstal Advanced Engineering in achieving its long-term strategic objectives. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours sincerely,

Liam O'Callaghan
