Engineering consultancy and services provider Vilicom Engineering Limited has appointed Sean Keating, Oliver Farrell and Sean Morris to leadership positions, as CEO, chairman, and head of operations, as part of a new strategy to support long-term growth, the company announced today.
“Vilicom is committed to providing a broad suite of innovative cellular solutions to meet the evolving needs of its loyal and growing customer base,” said co-founder Paul Donnelly on behalf of the board.
Donnelly believes the changes will provide additional strength, stability and continuity to the Vilicom management team, helping the company to embrace new markets, new alliances and new customers as part of its four-year strategic plan.

In his new role, Oliver will help develop international opportunities, build strategic alliances and drive the board effectively. Morris will also work closely with the new CEO to shape business strategy.
