A team of 15 runners from EMR took part in this year’s Grant Thornton Corporate 5K Team Challenge (GT5K).  Joining more than 1,200 teams from 139 different companies, the team successfully tackled a 5K course around a one-lap circuit at Dublin’s Docklands.

Ciaran Quinn finished the best of the EMR team, completing the circuit in a fantastic time of 17 mins 10 secs, notching up a very commendable 64th place finish overall.

Age trumped youth for second place with Alan Feenan turning in a strong performance with a time of 20 mins 32 secs, just edging out Terry McAuley who finished in 20 mins 38 secs.

The ladies from EMR also made their mark on the night with Deirdre Shanley clocking up a strong time of 24 mins 50 secs.

Commenting on the event, Mark Quinn, managing director with EMR said:

“We were delighted with the response we had from our staff in fielding four teams for the event.  Running is a great social activity and events such as this foster a great sense of camaraderie amongst staff.”

The Grant Thornton Corporate Challenge, run in association with Athletics Ireland, is aimed at encouraging social running amongst the business community in Dublin and Cork.  Proceeds from the race are channelled into Athletics Ireland’s Junior High Performance programme and 10% of each entry fee was donated to the ISPCC Childline Services.

Dunboyne, Co Meath, Thursday, 19th November, 2015: Leading SCADA network and mobile telecommunications supplier, EMR Integrated Solutions today announced its expansion to the UK market, in a move that will take its portfolio of market-leading products and system design and engineering capabilities to the UK’s energy and water utility industries.

The development comes hot on the heels of a €1 million contract with Northern Ireland Water to upgrade the utility’s telemetry network.

EMR currently employs 22 at its base in Dunboyne, Co Meath and hopes to add to that number with the establishment of its UK base. The company specialises in designing and building wireless communication for media organisations as well as SCADA and telemetry networks for energy suppliers and water companies.

Mark Quinn, managing director with EMR believes that significant opportunity exists for his organisation to make a breakthrough into the UK, thanks to the rapidly changing nature of the utility industry there.

“Power generation and water utilities are facing a perfect storm of business challenges in terms of environmental constraints, security of supply and cost pressures. Aging network infrastructure is a burning issue for many of them but taking the right approach with the right integration partner will promote more efficient management of energy or water supply into the future,” he said.

The company’s UK headquarters will be based in Reading, a strategic location to target some of the market’s key players. A team of technical and project management professionals will support the rollout of EMR’s SCADA and network infrastructure deployments.

The UK utility industry is undergoing a period of substantial change, where many will be forced to re-examine their business models, according to Quinn.

“We believe we have the track record and expertise to generate strong return on network investment for all stakeholders and support continuity of supply,” he said.

EMR was founded in the early in 1980s and has a strong management team with a wealth of industry experience. The company has some of Ireland’s strongest brands on its books including ESB, Eir, RTÉ NL, Virgin Media and many of the country’s county councils.

The company is well on track to receive the High Achiever award in 2017.

EMR’s managing director, Mark Quinn today presented to over 40 delegates at a major UK water industry conference.

The conference, entitled ‘Water: Process Control and Automation Engineering for the Water Industry’ and organised by the Institution of Engineering and Technology is one of the most important events in the UK water industry’s calendar.

At a dedicated workshop, facilitated by the organisers, Mark presented on the future of digital polling radio in the UK utility water sector. He explored many aspects of the topic including next generation telemetry network and the drivers for change, the challenges of existing technologies and architecture, designing the engineer-led solution, RF network planning and engineering and managing the migration process.

Commenting on the session, Mark said: “It was clear from the level of engagement from delegates that many utilities are struggling with the question of managing and future-proofing their telemetry networks. As IP networks gather pace, many utilities are faced with issues around protecting existing network investment and preparing the ground for future technology developments.”

This year’s conference took place in Stratford on Avon, UK.
