Brendan established Falco in June 2005. He remains the company’s Managing Director and driving force, having taken it from a virtual standing-start to tier-1 contractor status, employing over 150 staff with a turnover in excess of £15 million.
His success has drawn upon the experience of over 30 years spent in the utilities/construction sectors. He started his career in 1983 as an apprentice

That year he made his move into the utilities sector, joining Brophy, a subsidiary of Thames Water renamed Subterra, which specialised in groundworks to facilitate maintenance and repair of the water infrastructure. He worked his way up from Site Engineer to Site Agent and Contracts Manager during his 11 years at the Thames Water contractor before leaving in 2005 to set-up his own company.
