Listen "Leading a Construction Legacy"
Episode Synopsis
Leading a Construction Legacy For our first ‘Construction Leaders’ interview of 2025 on Breaking Ground, iProperty Radio, host Carol Tallon sits down with John O’Shaughnessy, Managing Director of Clancy Construction and VicePresident of the Construction Industry Federation to talk about his personal journey into construction and rising up through the ranks; the weight of legacy he feels, leading a family firm established in 1947; the changing nature of construction, touching on RISK, REPUTATION of the industry and RECRUITMENT (and why he won’t meet pay to keep headhunted staff). A CRISIS RESPONSE: John also talks us through the hours and days of the Covid announcement, the decisions that were taken in the moment, and the phone calls he made (and, critically, received) to get his team and light gauge steel supply chain on the ground within weeks. 📽️ Watch the full episode - https://youtu.be/_AgCXcRoHeo 📣 Listen back on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6QU2UipCdyYe4e154IzhKR?si=fbcf46d57e984c5c *Breaking Ground is sponsored by PLACEengage: VR/XR Town Hall, a data-driven platform for more successful public consultation and community engagement for your next development project* Produced by Katie Tallon MPRII, with Hear Me Roar Media on sound iPropertyRadio is part of Ireland's Property District #construction
