Minister Seán Sherlock T.D. recently met and congratulated lucky Buttevant couple, Gerard and Mary Vowles, who won a full refund from Activ8 Energies on their Solar Energy System. Minister Sherlock paid a visit to the couple when they were being presented with their cheque and took the opportunity to meet with staff of Activ8 energies to hear about their expanding business. Activ8 Energies are a 100% Irish owned company and are based in Carrickmacross in Co Monaghan. Since their foundation in 2005 they have grown steadily to become the market leader in the supply and installation of thermal solar energy systems. “As Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, I was keen to learn more about this area and in particular Activ8 Energies as a company who have grown in strength despite poor economic conditions over the past number of years. There is also the added bonus of having a local family win the cost of their solar energy system. I would like to congratulate Gerard and Mary”.
