Glanua, the Loughrea-based water, wastewater and bioresources engineering group, has strengthened its senior team with three appointments, as stated by Irish Building Magazine: Aubrey Mulveen as Group Chief Financial Officer, Peter Brewer as Managing Director for Industrial and Caroline Ó Laochdha as Group Health, Safety, Quality, Environment (HSQE) and Sustainability Director. The hires support a plan to grow revenue to €400 million by 2028 at a group that employs more than 750 people across Ireland, the UK, Portugal and the US.

Mulveen joins from Chanelle Pharma, where he was Chief Financial Officer for five years; before that he was CFO of C&D Foods, a division of ABP Group, and an audit director at KPMG in Galway. As Group CFO he will lead the finance function and support international expansion.

Brewer brings more than 30 years of international experience across manufacturing, engineering, water treatment, mining and biotechnology, most recently with Veolia Water Technologies in the UK. A South African native who has been UK-based for 25 years, he will lead Glanua’s Industrial business as it pursues opportunities in established and emerging markets, according to Building Ireland Magazine.

Ó Laochdha joins from Vision Built, a Sisk company, after several years with Mace Group in London, and brings more than 20 years in health, safety, wellbeing, environmental management and quality, as stated on Glanua’s leadership page. She will lead the Group’s approach to HSQE and sustainability.

Karl Zimmerer, Group Managing Director at Glanua, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Aubrey, Peter and Caroline to Glanua’s leadership team. They each bring significant experience and expertise in their respective fields.”

Zimmerer added: “Their appointments strengthen our ability to build on our established presence in Ireland and the UK, expand internationally and develop our capabilities across municipal and industrial water and wastewater infrastructure and emerging advanced technology sectors.”

Zimmerer said Mulveen’s “financial leadership will be important as we continue to scale the business and invest in our capabilities,” while Brewer “brings extensive experience in industrial markets and operational leadership.”

Glanua recorded revenue of €155 million in 2025 and expects more than €200 million in 2026, as reported by the Irish Examiner.

The structural driver is the group’s expansion across municipal and industrial water and wastewater infrastructure and emerging advanced technology sectors. For the sector, the hires add capacity in finance, industrial delivery and safety to an engineering group growing across four countries.
