BMG Hardware & Diy LTD

founded in 1985 by brian and tony mcgowan at the site of the old marine ballroom in the west end of bundoran. neither came from a hardware background, brian spent years abroad on construction projects in the middle east while tony spent 16 years travelling around the world on cargo ships with irish shipping ltd starting as a cadet and finally sailing as captain. both had a keen interest in diy projects. looking back we feel that not having experience was a help as we listened to what our customers wanted, an ethos which still persists in the business. in 1998 the business moved to main street and in 2007 moved to its present location, a purpose built premises on a 3-acre site on the outskirts of town, just off the bundoran /ballyshannon bypass. today we employ over 20 fulltime and 5 part-time staff. the original founders are still involved on a day to day basis. the business started with a big emphasis on diy and later moved on to building materials as well. we still retain our diy and
