Industry Training Services (ITS), which provides health and safety training to the construction, civil engineering, utilities and manufacturing sectors has opened a base in Dublin.

ITS was established in 2000 by civil engineer, Brendan Crealey, and operates from a purpose-built training campus on 12 acres near Portadown, Co. Armagh.

Brendan Crealey commented, “In the 23 years since we were first established, ITS has become the leading supplier of training courses for a wide range of industries across Northern Ireland.

“We have had a sizeable number of companies from the south that have become long-term clients of ITS. We see establishing a permanent presence in Dublin as a key step in enabling us to better serve our customers in Dublin and the wider region.”

The ITS base in Dublin is located in Cherry Orchard.
