PM Group wins Balkan projects totalling €10m
PM Group’s international consultancy division, PM International (PMI), today announced it has won EU funded consultancy projects worth €10m in the Balkan Region.
PM Group, has offices in Dublin, Cork, the UK, Poland, Romania and Bulgaria and employs 1,700 people in Ireland and worldwide. The Group competed against some of Europe’s leading consultancy companies in countries such as Belarus, Bosnia Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Moldova and Serbia to win these high profile contracts.
Projects include Waste Governance in Moldova and Belarus; environmental and economic sector projects in Bosnia; Competition and State Aid in Croatia; SME Development in Kosovo; Strengthening of Macedonia’s Civil Service Agency on behalf of the European Commission and environmental and municipal projects in Serbia.
“We were delighted to win these new projects. It is a particularly rewarding area to work in as we are involved with helping pre-accession countries to implement sustainable solutions as foundations to their future growth. Employing highly-qualified and experienced professionals with the range of skills, knowledge and experience, we are well positioned to comply with and execute world-class projects in that region, and beyond” said Dermot O’Dwyer of PM Group.
In addition to the successes in the Balkan Region, PM has recently begun work in Brussels with the European Commission to assist in effectively coordinating activities with other donors (World Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, European Investment Bank etc.) in the Western Balkan region and Turkey.
“PM Group’s recent successes are a reflection of the company’s strategic ambitions to broaden its international consultancy activities. This is reflected by our long term presence in Romania and Bulgaria and our recent work with the Asian Development Bank in Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan. Our reputation in international consultancy has grown to the extent that we continue to see this market as a major growth area for the Group”, added Mr O’Dwyer.
“PM Group’s international consulting services places particular emphasis on the strengthening of Ministries and state institutions, cross border development, human resource development and regional development, using the experience gained from an Irish perspective to guide the beneficiary countries through the often difficult transition process to full membership of the European Union” Mr. O’Dwyer said. He added that PM’s recent successes are a reflection of the company’s strategic ambitions to further broaden its international activities and to become a truly global company.
