Bon Voyage Carmel!

One of our Expert Genealogists - Carmel Gilbride - has recently stepped away from her role as Research Manager in the Eneclann office. She will be missed, and we wish her the very best in her next steps...

We are moving apart, and yet our friendship is deep rooted. We will see one another soon, so let us promise for now - Farewell!

Celebrating another addition to the Eneclann family!

A huge congratulations to our colleague Orla, who recently had a beautiful baby girl!
Little Faye was born on 21st June - a Summer Solstice baby! Both baby and mother are happy and healthy and we love it when she pops in to say hi!

One little baby, so many happy hearts!

New Line on the Family tree for our Expert Genealogist Stephen!
