Our History
Established for over 3 years as a limited company, and previously over 20 years as O’Brien Plant Hire, Bernard and Mike O’Brien, along with their parents Michael and Eileen O’Brien, have grown to be a company specialising in groundworks, main drainage, concrete works, agricultural buildings and plant hire.
Having originally purchased a rubber tyre digger in 1995 as a service to local farmers, Michael O’Brien Snr quickly grew the business to the point where he purchased his first excavator in the year 1998. As Bernard started to develop his skills on diggers, a second brand new rubber tyre followed in 2001 to work on local building sites. This was the beginning of the business diversifying and specialising in two sectors: Agriculture and Construction.
The business continued to grow steadily, gradually building up both its employee numbers and machine numbers. As Mike Jnr also joined the business, it became a limited company in 2014 and this allowed further growth due to a hands-on approach to all aspects of the work undertaken by everyone involved.
It was this approach, along with the sourcing of top quality local employees that has allowed B & M O’Brien to grow to today employing 15 people and growing, as well as a large variety of machines to tackle any job, large or small, in both the agricultural and construction industries.
