Our Business

We are delighted to announce Ancove, a highly innovative and award-winning provider of waste management solutions, is now part of Bidvest Noonan. Ancove applies waste management expertise and cutting-edge technologies to help clients cut waste disposal costs, comply with regulations and reduce their carbon footprint. The business operates throughout Ireland and supports clients in a wide range of sectors, including retail, hospitality, manufacturing and education.

Ancove offers a range of compactors, balers and waste handling accessories that enable companies to sort and decrease their overall waste volume. With Ancove’s support, clients send less waste to landfill and generate new revenues from waste materials such as cardboard and plastic.

Bidvest Noonan will retain the Ancove brand, which benefits from market leadership. Ancove’s management team, led by General Manager, Paul Nolan, will remain at the helm of the business.

Welcoming this announcement, Mary Kealy, Managing Director, Bidvest Noonan said “I am thrilled to welcome Ancove to our group. Ancove is an excellent business with a strong brand, a talented team and an exceptional portfolio of clients. I look forward to working with Paul and all of our new colleagues to realise the tremendous potential Ancove offers”.

Commenting on behalf of Ancove, General Manager, Paul Nolan said “This is excellent news for Ancove, our people and our clients. We are excited to have Bidvest Noonan’s support. I am looking forward to working with Bidvest Noonan to continue Ancove’s success and deliver even greater value to our clients.”

We are delighted to announce that we have signed an agreement that will see Interact, one of Ireland’s leading M&E Engineering services providers, and H2O solutions, Interact’s highly accredited water treatment business, join our group. This agreement, which is subject to CCPC approval, will significantly enhance our service offering and enable us to offer clients even greater value and support.

Interact is an exceptional business with a reputation for exceeding industry standards and leading best practice. The business employs 80 skilled and experienced people and operates nationwide across Ireland. It has a strong presence in many of our key sectors, including the Retail, Healthcare, Education, Commercial, and Public sectors.

In recognition of their strength, we have decided to retain the Interact and H2O Solutions brands. We will transition our own considerable M&E services business into Interact, doubling its size, and cementing its position as a market leader. Our dedicated transition team will implement a tried and tested integration plan to ensure a seamless transition. There will be no disruption to the services we deliver.

Interact’s Managing Director, Philip Murphy will lead this substantially larger business. Philip will have our full support and will be able to draw on the strength of our group to deliver exceptional service to clients.

We are thrilled to grow our mechanical and electrical engineering capability in Ireland. We do not plan to offer M&E engineering services in the UK, where our focus remains on growing our security and facilities services businesses.

Our CEO, Declan Doyle, MD of Workplace Solutions, Mary Kealy and Interact MD, Philip Murphy have recorded a brief message sharing their perspective on this exciting news.

We are delighted to announce that we have invested in the Axis Group. The group comprises Axis Security, Axis Cleaning, and Acuity, a specialist provider of front of house management services. With 4,000 employees and an impressive portfolio of clients, Axis Group is one of the UK’s marketing-leading facilities services businesses.

Axis is an outstanding business with great people, a strong reputation, and a track record as one of the leading service providers in the UK. Axis and Bidvest Noonan share a lot in common. Both businesses focus on service excellence, developing long-term relationships with clients, and protecting the safety and wellbeing of their people. 

This investment substantially strengthens our business, adding to our scale, expertise and infrastructure. It will allow us to provide greater value and support to all current and future clients.

Our dedicated transition team is executing a strategy that will ensure Axis transitions seamlessly into our business. There will be no disruption to the services we deliver, with current service delivery teams remaining in place. 

Welcoming the announcement, Declan Doyle, CEO of Bidvest Noonan, said: “Axis is a great business supported by a team of excellent people. This investment represents the continued realisation of our strategy to grow our UK business and strengthen our position as a leading provider of security and facilities management services, that offers a strong and credible alternative to the current large companies operating in the market. We are very excited about the future prospects for the business and look forward to working with the team to build on their successes to date.” 

Commenting on behalf of Axis, Group CEO Jonathan Levine, said: “Bidvest Noonan is a great partner for our business, committed to the long-term growth and development of the company and our 4,000 people. With a reputation for high-standards, excellent customer service and long-lasting, trust-based relationships with clients, their values and approach are highly complementary to our business and we look forward to working with them to continue delivering the high-standards of service to our clients.” 

Now more than ever before, our CEO, Declan Doyle wants everyone in the Bidvest Noonan family to know how important and appreciated they are. During these unprecedented times people across our business are working hard to make life better for others, keep people safe, and keep businesses open. The difference they make has never been clearer. Listen to his message.

This is a very big week for our business here at Bidvest Noonan, especially for our security business in the UK. We are delighted to announce we are mobilising 17 sites and welcoming 162 new colleagues to our business.

A very big congratulations to all involved in the mobilisation and a very warm welcome to all our new teammates.
