Can you believe it’s been 20 years since CEF Ireland first opened its doors? It’s been two decades of hard work, collaboration, and growth, and we couldn’t have done it without you, our customers and community.
To mark the occasion, we’re hosting a series of events at each of our founding branches. These trade mornings are all about saying thank you and giving back to the people who’ve been part of our journey.

Twenty years ago, when we first set out on this journey, we had a vision - to continue CEF’s mission as a business that connected deeply with our clients, provided opportunities for employees to grow, and made a positive impact on the communities we serve. Looking back now, the success we have achieved over the past two decades is a testament to the collective effort of everyone involved—from our team members who have driven our growth to the customers and suppliers who have stood by us. As we celebrate this milestone, we reflect on the journey and look forward to what’s next.
