John Sisk started his independent contracting business in 1859, and, in the 162 years that have passed since then, his family has built John Sisk & Son into one of the construction industry’s most successful and iconic companies. 

 During the early days of a business, foundations are laid for how it approaches projects, how it treats its people, and the impact it has on the community and society in which it operates. In this episode we will hear about the early days of Sisk and how the company grew and evolved,  the values that were established  along the way, and how the Sisk family try to keep those values intact and relevant and ready for the next generation. 

 Telling us this unique story are Hal and Christine Sisk, son and granddaughter of John G Sisk, and Liam O'hUigin, a well-known Cork historian
