An East London based civil engineering contractor with over 30 years in business has been awarded one of the most prestigious Irish community awards in the UK. Brendan Riney MBE has been named as the winner of the respected Kerry Association London Person of the Year award for 2016. The South Kerry native was selected last night by the Kerry Association London’s Person of the Year sub-committee in recognition for the charity work he undertakes in the London area.
Mr Riney is the Managing Director of J B Riney & Co Ltd, a renowned civil engineering contractor which has become one of London’s leading and most respected construction companies. He joins some of London’s most illustrious Kerry people, like the late John Murphy and current KAL chairman Danny O’Sullivan who have employed countless Kerry people in their respective civil engineering firms over the years, as Kerry Person of the Year.
In October 2012, Mr Riney was presented with the Member of the most excellent order of the British Empire award from Prince Charles to honour his work setting up Mudchute City Farm, in Pier Street on the Isle of Dogs. Mr Riney, who travelled to London in 1947, left his native Kenmare at the young age of 13. His father was born and raised in Templenoe and his mother was from Cork.
