About Friary Iron Works

Friary Ironworks is a family business run jointly by John Cavanagh and his wife Noreen, which, in its current form, is in existence over 40+ years.

Friary Ironworks serves two customer categories: commercial (local authorities, property developers, building contractors, retailers) and domestic (homeowners with primary or secondary properties). The Cavanagh family has built strong personal relationships and referral networks in both segments and aims to enhance these while exploring new markets in Munster, Leinster, and nationwide if feasible.
