Lisburn-based company Ad-Vance Engineering has become one of the first local firms to sign up to the Causeway – The Ireland Scotland Business Exchange, a new organisation set up to promote business links between the two regions. Causeway was first launched in Scotland during 2016 and was officially launched at the British Embassy in Dublin in late October 2017.


The not-for-profit network has received financial backing from both the Irish and Scottish Governments, and has been supported by Simon Coveney, the Irish Tanaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs & Trade.

With several events planned over the coming year, Causeway is also planning its first event in Belfast in early 2018.

“Causeway is essentially an exchange of ideas, connections and opportunities between Irish and Scottish businesses with ambitions to break into or grow in either country,” says Colm Moloney, Chairman of the organisation, now re-branded simply as Causeway.

Ad-Vance Engineering is a specialist precision engineering company, specialising in bespoke injection moulding tools for the plastics manufacturing industry across the globe.

“We’re already working with some of the biggest names in plastics across the British Isles and further afield, and we’ve got firm plans in place to extend our reach to markets worldwide,” says the Lisburn company’s Managing Director, Roger Vance.

“To that end, networks are very important to us and we see a lot of merit in Causeway – The Ireland Scotland Business Exchange. It’s one of a number of progressive organisations we see ourselves getting involved with as we develop our business and client list.”
