Plenary establishes office in Ireland

Plenary establishes office in Ireland

Leading independent long-term investor, developer and manager of public infrastructure Plenary Group has expanded its European footprint, opening an office in Dublin.

Long-term employee, Executive Director Matthew Biviano, has relocated from the company’s Sydney office to head the new office, bringing with him more than 20 years’ experience in the origination and delivery of public-private partnerships (PPPs) and large-scale infrastructure.

A qualified civil engineer and licensed builder, Mr Biviano joined Plenary in 2007 and has led key workstreams across many successful social infrastructure and transport PPPs including Queensland Schools, Single LEAP 1 and Single LEAP 2 housing projects, and Sydney Metro - Western Sydney Airport. He also played a leading role in Plenary’s recent growth activities in property, and geographical growth into Asia, the Middle East and, most recently, New Zealand.

Denis Curran, Head of Emerging Business at IDA Ireland said, “Plenary’s announcement further underscores Ireland’s position as a leading location for global firms looking to expand into the European market. Our pro-business environment and strong pipeline of talent continues to attract companies looking to access wider global markets. I want to wish Plenary every success in the coming years.’’ 

Mr Biviano said he was excited to be pursuing opportunities in Ireland.

“We’re committed to making a positive contribution to Ireland, establishing Plenary as a true local partner, and delivering some exciting infrastructure,” Mr Biviano said.

“Ireland’s strong demand for social housing and transport projects, including the Dublin MetroLink, is well aligned with our experience across Asia Pacific, the Middle East and North America, and I am excited for the opportunity to deliver this important public infrastructure for Ireland.”

Plenary CEO Paul Crowe said the establishment of a Dublin office demonstrates the company’s commitment to Ireland as it looks to support the delivery of its strong pipeline of public infrastructure projects.
“Ireland’s €165 billion National Development Plan recognises the need to significantly accelerate infrastructure delivery,” Mr Crowe said.

“Successful delivery of the plan’s ambitious projects will require resourcing with the appropriate skillsets. With our strong international experience, Plenary is well place to support the realisation of Ireland’s infrastructure ambitions.”

The office opening follows Plenary’s 2022 establishment of a London office and winning its first UK project in 2024, the Staffordshire University Student Village.

Established in Australia in 2004, Plenary has steadily expanded to now include offices in Ireland, the UK, the UAE, Singapore, North America and Australia.
