Patrick Joy appointed non-executive director of TPI Group

Former EY Entrepreneur of the Year and founder of Suretank Patrick Joy has been appointed as a non-executive director of communications company TPI Group.

Chartered engineer Joy built engineering solutions provider Suretank in Co Louth into a global business employing 800 people and won the entrepreneur title in 2013.

“I am ready for this challenge and look forward to growing this successful Irish owned and Irish run business,” he said.

Colin Culliton, CEO of TPI Group, said Joy’s experience would be “invaluable” as it continues its growth into a full service marketing communications company.

“Employing over 120 staff, TPI Group is made up of The Printed Image, TAP Creations, Runway Marketing, Zest Merchandise and The Creative Works,” he said.

“Together they deliver a menu of creative choice that marketers can select while experiencing the same quality and consistency in personal service throughout. The product is best described as clever customer communications.”
