Thomas is a qualified plumber by trade with a strong practical background, who went on to build broad experience across operations, management, and business development during my time with Bord na Móna.
As Bord na Móna transitioned from brown energy to green, I took the opportunity to grow with it — developing skills and insight in a rapidly changing renewables-led environment. Working through that transformation gave me first-hand experience of how industry, infrastructure, and land use must adapt to meet climate and energy challenges.
I’ve always had a strong drive to create something of my own. Seeing the rapid growth of the solar and renewables sector, I identified a gap where practical expertise, operational experience, and land management could come together. That led to the creation of Solofox Ltd.
Today, Solofox brings together solar panel cleaning and maintenance with grass and vegetation management, particularly under and around solar arrays. This allows us to support renewable assets from both an energy-performance and site-management perspective — ensuring systems operate efficiently while the land they sit on is safely and sustainably maintained.
Solofox allows me to put my experience into building a business that delivers practical, reliable solutions while contributing in a meaningful way to a greener future.
