THIS month, Portlaoise Stone is celebrating 35 years in business.
Founded by Terry Swayne in October 1991, Portlaoise Stone has operated from several locations and is now based at Unit 3B, Clonminam Business Park, Portlaoise.
Family involvement remains central to its day-to-day operations. Terry’s wife Jenny runs the office, while Kevin and Trevor take on a range of responsibilities across office duties and hands-on stonework. Hannah and Andrew also worked in the family business before pursuing different career paths. Terry’s father Pat and his brother, also Pat, have provided advice and support throughout the business’s journey.
Reflecting on the anniversary, Terry said: “Reaching 35 years in business is a great achievement and something we’re very proud of. Having my family involved makes it even more special. I’d like to thank all our customers for their support over the years.” Portlaoise Stone Centre supplies kitchen worktops, vanity units and custom-made stone products in a range of materials, including granite, marble, quartz and Irish limestone.
The business also provides headstones, including granite and limestone memorials, alongside grave maintenance services, helping families honour and remember their loved ones.
As Portlaoise Stone Centre marks this milestone, Terry and his family extend their thanks to employees past and present, customers and everyone who has supported the business since 1991. They look forward to continuing to serve customers from their Portlaoise premises.
