Our colleague and good friend Richard King has decided to retire from ESB after more than 40 years exceptional service.
Richard started his career in Distribution Department after graduating as an electrical engineer in 1982. After 2 years he moved on to Haddington Road where he was involved with many overseas projects including Jubail and Ghana. After 3 years, Richard decided that he would like some regional experience and was appointed as Planning Engineer in Waterford.
The South East Region was to become a huge part of Richard’s life going forward. In 1989, Richard was appointed as Customer Services Engineer in Enniscorthy and he held a number of engineering jobs here over the following years.
In 2001, Richard took up a role in Contracted Projects Group as NRP was kicking off and spent some time managing the integration of small contractors. He returned to Enniscorthy as Area Manager and held both roles for a period of time.
In 2010, Ger Buckley asked Richard to review CMP13 and this started Richard’s career in the safety area; a role that was well served by his commitment to ensuring the safety of all who worked with him over the years. Richard remained in the safety area until 2018. During this time, he completed a Certificate and Post Graduate Diploma qualification in Safety and became a recognised expert in the safety area.
In 2018, Richard’s expertise was extremely useful as he transferred to the Networks Fibre organisation where he worked on the interface arrangements between SIRO and Networks. In mid-2020, Richard transferred to the Networks Environmental organisation where his work on the environmental aspects of HV substations was innovative and original.
Richard has made many friendships in Networks over the years. His professionalism and great knowledge are paired with an affable manner and good sense of humour. Richard is always approachable and willing to share his expertise with others and will be greatly missed by us all.
Richards last day at work is the 17th May but he would like to invite his friends from ESB to an informal get together in The Bailey Pub in Enniscorthy on Friday 19th May from 8pm to celebrate his retirement. I would like to wish Richard a long and happy retirement.Farewell & Thanks

After a successful career which has spanned right across ESB, Frank Bredin has taken the decision to retire. His contribution to the success of all the businesses he worked in has been significant and he will be greatly missed by the colleagues and friends who had the pleasure to work alongside him over the years and to benefit from his knowledge and experience.
Frank joined ESB in September 1981, having previously worked as an electrical engineer in Lirelle (later Unifi) in Letterkenny after graduating from Trinity in 1979. He started in what was known as System Operation Dept (System Op), which later became National Grid and later Eirgrid, where among other activities he worked relief shifts in the Load Dispatch Office (LDO) which became the NCC.
He moved to Distribution Dept in 1985 into Urban (Network) Planning and later into HV (38kV at that time) Substations in both the maintenance and design functions, which more later became HVSP (HV Substation Performance) which included a Protection team which he joined and this later became a separate System Protection Section in 2010, now including the Earthing function (SP&E).
Frank enjoyed his different roles and the experiences he gained and felt lucky to have had that privilege to make so many friends along the way and would like to thank all his colleagues past and present for their support throughout the years and to wish them all the best of luck for the future.
On behalf of everyone, we would like to wish Frank a very happy and healthy retirement and to thank him for his huge dedication and service to ESB.
