Our Clients

What our clients say

“Rowan have worked with us for many years and I have found them a pleasure to deal with. On many occasions I have called Tom Rowan at night or on a weekend to find him in good spirits, willing and available to advise or get a job done at a moment’s notice. I don’t know anyone else in his industry that would take that call.”

Charles Coyle

Managing Director Tayto Park

“We work closely with Tom and his team and we value their advice and expertise, but most of all, we respect their independent expert opinions on engineering matters. Rowan also add value in assisting us in other areas of the business with CPD approved talks and risk management advice. Tom and his team provide an excellent service and respond urgently to any requests for attendance at accident scenes, sometimes even arriving while the emergency services are still there.”

Paddy Moran

Head of Complex Claims, IPB Insurance

“We have enjoyed working with the Rowan team for the past number of years. They are a team of highly skilled and professional consultants who have consistently provided us with the technical information we need to make the right decisions. We really value our partnership with them and in particular the integrity and excellence that they bring to every job.
On many occasions I have called Tom for some immediate advice or to carry out an urgent inspection, and he has always willingly taken on the job. We have no hesitation in recommending Rowan to other solicitors, and we look forward to continuing our valued relationship with them in the future.”

Catherine Molloy

Principal, Pembroke Solicitors

“Rowan have impressed us with their expertise and flexibility to cater for our fast-changing environmental needs. They are partners, rather than a supplier, that provide friendly service with excellent no-nonsense advice”.

John Hennessy

Operations Director, Tayto Snacks.

“Over the years I’ve seen them expand and progress into a very impressive organisation which stands out amongst its peers in a very competitive market. They are a pleasure to deal with and provide a very efficient, cost effective service”.
