Portlaoise Enterprise Centre is home to lots of different individuals and companies who all have one thing in common “they know that there are great facilities available to them here, at a reasonable cost.”
Excellent Facilities leads to excellent Feedback
But why take our word for it? Here’s what they say about why they have chosen Portlaoise Enterprise Centre as the base for their businesses
Unparalleled Accessibility
SafetyTraining.ie has been growing steadily over the past few years. Initially, the ambition was to have an office locally in Portlaoise, with training facilities. This would assist in maximising profits. Having rented training rooms from Patricia previously, they proved to be easily accessible for location, comfortable, also very well equipped and suitable for safety courses.
SafetyTraining.i.e. applied for an available office. Patricia accommodated this by providing a shared office at first in February 2024 and, most recently, an own door office. Business has increased due to becoming a SafePass Trainer for Solas, the office address at Portlaoise Enterprise Centre has enhanced the professional front of the business, as many clients are from prestigious companies, to give one example we have delivered IOSH Managing Safely to an entire housing department of a County Council recently. We don’t believe we would have got that work without this office address.
Unparalleled Accessibility
Having my financial services business located in a shared business centre in the heart of Ireland is a game-changer. Laois’ central location and unparalleled accessibility, make it convenient for my clients from all around the country to meet me in person. Being in a shared space like Portlaoise Enterprise Centre, in an expanding business parking in Clonminam, has given me the opportunity to network with other businesses in the area, which has led to valuable partnerships and opportunities.
Portlaoise Enterprise Centre’s professional amenities, from high-speed internet to modern meeting rooms, help me provide a top-tier service to my clients, while keeping overhead costs manageable. It’s a perfect blend of location, community, and efficiency
Perfect Loaction
I just wanted to put a few words together to thank you for the office space we rent and to let you know how grateful we are. We are plumbing and heating contractors for Laois County Council. The location of the office is perfect as we work in the area all day every day and having the office space near our work makes it so easy for us to drop back at any stage to update work orders and do reports should we need to in real time. We have just been awarded another 3 year contract with Laois County Council we will be there hopefully for another 3 years at least.
Great location for growing team
In May 2023, Electric Ireland Superhomes opened a new work hub at Portlaoise Enterprise Centre. This work hub is in a great location for us and will be used by our growing team as we scale to deliver heat pump led retrofits nationwide.
We have our own office space and can avail of the centre’s facilities, which includes the boardroom/training room, meeting rooms, canteen and free parking. We would highly recommend this centre to any businesses looking for office space.
Great location for growing team
Renting a satellite office at the Enterprise Centre in Portlaoise has been a seamless experience for BHA Construction. The team at the Centre goes above and beyond to support us, and the location is fantastic. This new space not only extends our geographical reach but also enables us to hire talented professionals from the local area. We’re very pleased with the decision and highly recommend the Enterprise Centre

Everything We Need!
Our base in Portlaoise Enterprise Centre has played an important role in the development of our company. We have benefited from the excellent facilities such as boardroom and canteen on offer at the Centre and its’ central location beside the M7 motorway, one hour from Dublin airport
The Clear Cloice
What is special about the Portlaoise Enterprise Centre is the people that manage it. I have been here with two companies(Glasscare & Mr Windscreen) for several years and I have always found an interested and sympatric ear when I approach Patricia for help. That may sound a little bland but believe me when I say that the “willingness to help” is a major benefit to anyone running a business. I can and do use the premises on a 7 day a week basis, and also on an after-hours basis.
Recently Mr Windscreen was given an opportunity to move to a larger unit, from Unit 5 to Unit 3 and once again we were never put under any pressure to vacate Unit 5, and we were allowed ample time to change Unit 3 into a very presentable workshop. As we are a small company, and our staff were working long into the nights, we were given every assistance by Patricia to ensure our move was successful. When we enquired if the lighting could be improved, Patricia arranged everything for us.
Although the structure of the offices and buildings and their layout is superb, their success is down to how these assets are managed as they are always ready for inspection, clean and ready for use. Patricia is always on top of contracts and any other issues that arise and everyone in the PEC knows they will be dealt with in a professional manner and with fairness and integrity.
I set up Guardian Ad Litem Consulting as my focus on developing a service to benefit children who may be caught up in difficulty because their parents are separating or going through a divorce. This business has grown due to pressures on families due to the restrictions imposed on the country because of the Covid 19 Pandemic Restrictions.
I have undertaken training with the Portlaoise Enterprise Centre over the past number of years and earlier in 2022 I needed to get an office away from our family home.
I am both lucky and very grateful to the Enterprise Centre for affording me the use of a spacious office (not the box room in our family home!) and this office is in a working hub where I can meet with other workers from different backgrounds and I have 24 hour 7 day per week access to my office.
The Enterprise Centre enabled me like many other businesses to get a venue to undertake my work within a working environment which I truly enjoy, and the Enterprise Centre is a truly wonderful venue for businesses of all sizes.
The Freedom To Grow
When I started my web design business, working from home was not really an option. So, when I found out there was a “hot desk” available in Portlaoise Enterprise Centre I jumped at the opportunity. The freedom a hot desk brings to my business is amazing. No long-term lease, access to all the centres facilities but more importantly, an affordable, professional location to operate and grow my business.
Thanks a million, to Patricia, for setting up everything for last Monday’s Excel course. I was very happy with how the course went and the facilities you have in the centre were excellent.
I hope to be back to you in the near future about an Excel Beginners course which I can also deliver.
We recently used the Computer Training Room in Portlaoise Enterprise Centre for a ten morning SAGE computerised accounting course. The room is spacious with plenty of room for both participants and tutors. We found the room to be very suitable both on warm and cold mornings with good, controllable air conditioning. The computers are up-to-date both in terms of hardware and software and we encountered no problems with the ones we used. We also found the Centre staff to be responsive to our requirements with issues being sorted out promptly.
We would have no hesitation in using the Centre again
