Core – known within the wholesale world for the distribution of market leading brands – has recently restructured the company to create a new division called Core Solutions. While Core Distribution remains responsible for the development of wholesale brands such as Marshall- Tufflex, Airflow and Basor, this will be complemented by the system-based, engineered solutions offered by Core Solutions. Core Solutions offers turnkey solutions that incorporates services ranging from advice, consultation and design through to the supply and commissioning of turnkey projects with modular wiring, DALI/ Lon/KNX lighting control systems and underfloor to desk power solutions.
Core’s relationship with world-class suppliers is matched by a talented, knowledgeable and dedicated team offering power, data and lighting solutions for smart, energy efficient buildings. This has already proved to be a success on a wide range of major projects, ranging from hyperscale data centres, intelligent office space, commercial buildings, factories and many more.
John McDonagh – Core Solutions Director –
John heads up the Core Solutions team. Having trained as an electrician, John understands the requirements of contractors and, thanks to his experience on a variety of prestigious projects, he also has knowledge of the needs of end- clients and specifiers. “What we offer is a lot more than just the supply and commissioning of world-class products,” explained John. “We have a team of solution managers who are dedicated to working with our customers to find bespoke solutions. “Starting at the design stages, we have a high level of expertise on delivering smart, intelligent, green buildings that meet the latest regulations. We have proven this time and again on projects for some of the biggest names in the world, including hyperscale data centres and smart offices. “This success is down to the experience, knowledge and capability of our team.”
Ciara McNerney – Underfloor to Desk Solution Manager –
As a qualified electrician combined with extensive product knowledge, Ciara is able to offer a unique insight into the underfloor to desk solutions available from Core. “My focus is on making the transition from design through to completion as seamless as possible. Working closely with architects, consultants, contractors and furniture manufacturers to ensure we meet required electrical regulations but also meet the practical requirements of each project. “I’ve been in the industry for 18 years and have worked with our two main suppliers, CMD Ltd and Cableduct for most of that time. Having the connection with these manufacturers is crucial to our success.”
Jay Byrne – Modular Wiring, Flat Cable and Lighting Controls Solution Manager –
With previous experience working as an electrical contractor, in the electrical wholesale sector and also in a more technical role for a manufacturer, Jay has gained the ability to look at issues from different perspectives. “I design solutions that are quicker and easier to install for contractors. On a specifier’s point of view you’re looking for flexibility which will future-proof a building. We have plug-and-play solutions that are perfect for this. And with our lighting controls, operability is key to ensure compatibility with other systems.” His focus is to deliver solutions that are highly-efficient, to install – allowing for project acceleration, and also energy-efficiency in operation. “I look for the best fit for a project, both now and in the future, and for all parties involved – specifier, contractor and client. We start at the design stage.”
John Curley – Modular Wiring and Lighting Control Support Engineer –
Working closely with Jay Byrne, John is highly proficient on system design and AutoCAD, meaning he can provide bespoke system solutions backed by technical sales and support services. Having worked in the industry for 24 years, he is one of the latest additions to the Core team. “I worked with Jay in the past, so we make a good team,” he said. “Core places the focus on the customer and since joining earlier this year I have been impressed by our access to world-class manufacturers.”
