Milestones and Events
A lot has happened since Evolusion Innovation was established back in 2010.
Scroll down for more detail.
Covid-19
Sept, 2020
As of September 2020, Covid-19 continued to have a dramatic and tragic impact on societies worldwide. In Ireland, September saw the Government publishing the Resilience and Recovery 2020-2021: Plan for Living with COVID-19, and this framework, which includes 5 levels of restrictions, was followed. Business as normal (in as much as it could be described as "normal") was Evolusion's intention throughout, and, thanks to the sterling efforts of our team, we were able to continue to provide our clients with the high levels of service they have grown to expect. Our offices remain open for essential workers (we are providing structural design and energy analysis services for hospital and other essential projects) with adjustments being made to ensure all WHO, HSE and NHS guidelines are being complied with, and many members of the team are continuing to work remotely. International travel was banned, but we are always available to all our clients using Microsoft Teams and other platforms. We are continuing to work on all existing projects as normal, and we are fully open for new business.
Evolusion celebrated a very successful 10 years in business
May, 2020
In May 2020 Evolusion reached a major milestone - 10 years in existence. We started out in May 2010 in the depths of a recession but nonetheless managed to grow the business from a duo in a home office to an international consultancy employing 40 people. Now here we are starting into our second decade unexpectedly in the face of another severe recession but we are currently open for business as usual and we remain optimistic that we can survive and thrive again. Thanks to all of the team for all their hard work and appreciated contributions to our success, and thanks to all our valued clients over the last decade, we look forward to continuing to work with you over the next decade.
