Adman Steel Sheds has reaffirmed its commitment to local communities by contributing a total of €75,000 in grassroots funding this year, with the latest €35,000 being awarded to 10 sports clubs nominated by Adman employees. 

Each club will receive €3,500 to invest in equipment, facilities, and youth programs, funded entirely by profits from Adman’s Lean Factory Tour — a not-for-profit experience demonstrating Lean Manufacturing principles in action.

Unfortunately, the names for the front row have been omitted in the email, however, if the organisers would supply the names WexfordLocal.com would be delighted to add them to this photograph.

The following clubs will benefit from this year’s donations: 

Under 12 Craanford Boy’s GAA 

Oylegate United Women’s Soccer 

Clonee GAA Club

County Wexford Youth Darts 

Shamrock Rovers AFC 

Clonard Ladies LGFA 

Ballyhogue GAA Club 

Oulart the Ballagh GAA Club 

Ballygarrett GAA Club 

Camolin FC 

This marks the second year of Adman’s staff-nominated support programme, which has now supported 16 clubs across two years. By linking business innovation with social good, Adman continues to strengthen the communities where its employees live, work, and play. 

“Our staff live, work, and play in these communities, and it’s only right that we give back to the clubs that play such an important role in people’s lives,” said Paul Nolan, Managing Director of Adman Steel Sheds. “Through the Lean Factory Tour, we’ve found a way to combine business innovation with community impact — showing how Lean can benefit both companies and communities alike.” 

From under-age GAA teams to grassroots soccer clubs and youth darts associations, the funding will help upgrade facilities, purchase equipment, and create better sporting opportunities for hundreds of players and their families. 

The initiative is powered by Adman’s Lean Factory Tour, an immersive, behind-the-scenes experience at its acclaimed Gorey manufacturing facility. Designed for SME leaders and their teams, the tour demonstrates Lean principles in action, with all profits reinvested directly into local community projects like these donations.
