Safety training, consultancy and staffing solutions

AYRTON Group, originally HSS, commenced business in North Cork in the 1990’s. Established in 1993 by its Managing Director, Kieran Linehan, the company first began in Killavullen, transferred to Newmarket and then, due to expansion, in 2006 built its own offices and training centre, which is based in Scarteen Business Park, Newmarket. The Newmarket training centre is the largest purpose-built safety training centre in Ireland, with accommodation for 70 trainees at any time. It provides some of the most practical based safety training programmes on the market, as well as 10 acres of outdoor space for green field training.

In 1999 we entered the Leinster market, with offices in Ballymount and in 2015 expanded our business yet again and opened our new and much larger offices and training centre at Tallaght, Dublin.

We rebranded to Ayrton Group on October 2016 and have achieved further growth to now employ over 120 people.
