From September to October we were making regular trips to Dublin to the new multi-billion Cherrywood site to capture the construction and gas works there. We were contacted by construction, gas and drilling behemoths BBCLG, Gas Networks Ireland and McCormack Drilling and tasked with creating a dynamic promotional video to showcase the scale and complexity of the project. The Project later won Irish Construction Project of the Year.
