Sisk Group is a construction and property company founded in Cork, Ireland in 1859 with operations in Ireland, United Kingdom, Belgium, and Sweden.
History
After an apprenticeship as a plasterer and at the age of 22, John Sisk set up the construction business in 1859.[1]
In April 2019, Sisk was removed from the UK Government's Prompt Payment Code for failing to pay suppliers on time.[2] It was reinstated around 10 months later.[3]
The company relocated 200 of its employees into its newly retrofitted head office at Citywest in Dublin in July 2024.[4]
