We at Bannon couldn’t be prouder to have taken part in the Mater Hospital Foundation 100-mile challenge where we ran, walked and jogged over 2,000 miles during the month of February to raise money to improve patient care in the Mater Hospital! Their initial target of €150k has been reached with some funds still coming in! 🎉

Commercial property management is a dynamic and fast-paced environment. The presence of an estates management team is critical to ensure the smooth and efficient operation of a large portfolio of managed assets. Estates managers perform a wide range of roles across a portfolio and constantly face new challenges daily.
The primary responsibility of the Bannon Estates Management Team is to ensure the safety, security, and smooth operation of Bannon managed property assets. Regular and thorough site inspections serve multiple purposes in achieving objectives. These inspections identify potential safety hazards, ensure compliance with safety regulations, and maintain the overall integrity of the portfolio. By proactively managing safety across the portfolio, the team contributes to reducing accidents and incidents.
Accurate and timely reporting of accidents and incidents is crucial for effective property management. The Bannon Estates Management Team plays a vital role in facilitating such reporting, working closely with on-site centre management teams and contractors. By liaising with relevant stakeholders, such as An Garda Síochána, they contribute to combatting antisocial behaviour and maintaining a safe environment for occupiers and visitors to enjoy.
To ensure the highest quality of service delivery, the team also monitors cleaning standards, security performance, and health and safety audits of the properties. By regularly assessing these aspects, they can identify deficiencies and take appropriate corrective actions. This helps to maintain a pleasant user experience for occupiers and visitors while mitigating potential risks.
Monthly KPIs
The team sets monthly KPIs to track performance, identify areas for improvement, and recognize exceptional service delivery. Regular discussions on KPI results allow for continuous improvement and effective communication with line managers.
Planned Preventative Works
By implementing well-structured planned preventative maintenance programs, the team ensures that potential issues are addressed proactively, reducing the likelihood of unexpected failures, and minimising operational disruptions.
Crisis Management
Dealing with unforeseen events such as fires, floods, and anti-social behaviour requires efficient crisis management. The Bannon Estates Management Team plays a vital role in formulating and fine-tuning response plans, enabling prompt action to mitigate risks and minimise the impact on property stakeholders.
By conducting thorough site inspections, managing safety, maintaining standards, and overseeing crisis management, the estate management team contributes significantly to the success and reputation of the properties Bannon manages. With effective collaboration, strategic planning, and a proactive approach, the team creates a safe and pleasant user experience for occupiers, visitors, and the wider community.

When the team at Bannon decided last year to organise a fundraiser for Cancer Trials Ireland in memory of their colleague Louise Creevy (née Doherty) who had sadly passed away, they thought it would be a one-off event. Such was the success of the Property Picnic, however, more than 650 guests from across the industry turned up for the gathering at 1WML in the Windmill Quarter and raised €170,087 in the process.
Given the picnic’s popularity, and with the funding raised contributing to trials in which 144 cancer patients in Ireland got to avail of cutting-edge treatments that they could not otherwise have accessed, and at no cost to themselves or the State, it’s hardly surprising that the event is back on this year. Keystone sponsorship for this year’s Property Picnic is being provided by Hibernia Real Estate Group, MCR, Core Capital, Matheson, Mastertech, and Glass Bottle (RGRE and Lioncor). Tickets for the event, which takes place on May 18th at 1WML in the Windmill Quarter, Dublin 2, cost €55 with an additional booking fee of €5.
Commenting on the importance of events such as Property Picnic to her organisation’s work, Cancer Trials Ireland chief executive Eibhlín Mulroe said: “Cancer Trials offer treatment options to patients. First and foremost, that is why many doctors working in cancer in Ireland seek to get patients on to trials.
“Within that, fundraisers like the Property Picnic help Cancer Trials Ireland to open a very important category of cancer clinical trials known as ‘investigator-led’ – read ‘doctor-led’ – trials. These trials are non-commercial. The research questions they ask are driven by patient need rather than commercial reasons.
“Last year, Property Picnic funds went towards four such investigator-led trials. Two of the trials were breast cancer trials, one in HER2-positive breast cancer, affecting one in five women in Ireland with breast cancer, the other in triple-negative breast cancer, affecting one in eight women, and is more common in younger women. The other two trials were in prostate cancer – one trial for previously untreated high-risk, localised prostate cancer, and the other for progressive, metastatic (ie cancer that has spread from where it first formed) prostate cancer.
“With the Property Picnic’s help, Cancer Trials Ireland was able to close out three of these trials, and in one case (the high-risk, localised prostate cancer study) present findings at a prestigious international cancer conference earlier this year, which showed the trial did achieve its primary objective of reducing prostate gland volume.”
