About Us

Sheds Direct Ireland is home to Ireland’s most affordable, quality sheds and garden products. It’s a family-run company founded by the Father-and-Daughter team of Alan and Louise Dawson.

The company was established after Alan found it difficult and unnecessarily expensive to source a good quality shed on the island of Ireland. The pair took it upon themselves to fix this for the Irish market. Years later, the goal remains the same: source the most cost effective, high quality materials and provide them to our customers with a high level of care.

The Sheds Direct Ireland Head Office and beautiful showroom can be found on the Jamestown Road in Finglas and it is here you can see almost everything that we have to offer.

In 2025, we opened our flagship showroom on the N7 Naas Road, which has a considerably larger footprint in which to show off our sheds, planters, gazebos and more.

if you need a question answered, pop into us in either of our branches, or give us a call at 01 864 4247.  So, if you need high quality garden shed or some garden equipment at a competitive price – as well as exceptional industry knowledge and years of experience, you’ll struggle to find better than Sheds Direct Ireland.

Meet the Team

CEO of Sheds Direct Ireland, Louise Dawson

Louise Dawson – CEO

The woman who pays our wages. Louise looks after the day to day running of the business. There’s no better person to go to if you can’t remember an order or product from 3 years ago as she has a memory like no other. Feel free to ask her about all things flatpacked as it’s a secret passion of hers.

Patrick

Patrick Thorpe – CFO

Patrick joined the Sheds Direct Ireland team in late 2024 and he has been an incredible addition. He seems to exist of 40 minutes of sleep a night, cramming the rest of day with activities, making business plans and suggesting ideas to the Marketing Team. If this makes Patrick sound too good to be true, don’t worry, he has a major flaw: He’s an ardent supporter of Manchester United.

Staff member Suzanne

Suzanne Kavanagh – Chaos Coordinator

Suzanne joined the team in April 2025 and has fitted into the team like a glove. She’s there to make complex issues manageable but she still doesn’t understand the modh coinníollach!

Staff member Poonam

Poonam Sharma –
Business Solutions Analyist

She owns, configures and optimises our CRM and B2B. She ensures all our data’s integrity and system’s security. She translates complex data into operational efficiency. She is our specialist in our operational scalability and is everything data driven. We haven’t a clue what any of this means, but she seems nice.

Sales staff Samantha

Samantha – Sales Assistant

Samantha joined the sales team in March, 2022. Her main role is making sure that the customers have everything they need while shopping in our showroom. If you call our store with any questions, there’s a good chance you’ll have Samantha on the other end – just don’t ask her about slippers though, she may hang up.

 Kenneth- Warehouse Assistant 

Kenneth is an absolute wizard on a forklift!

No corner is too tight, no manoeuvre too tricky – we’re convinced he’s got magical powers!

He is also the man behind packing our flat packed sheds, making sure they are ready for delivery to every corner of Ireland. If there’s a gap, Kenneth will find a way through it!

 

 

Clare – Trade Sales Section

Claire joined the Sheds Direct Ireland team in 2024,  and quickly settled in. With her years of experience working with customers, she has become an excellent member of the team and looks after our trade section, as well as saving Louise when flower arrangements need to be made for our showrooms. 

 Ellie-  Junior Sales Assistant

Ellie joined the Sheds Direct Ireland team in 2025 and has been looking after customers in our Finglas showroom ever since.

Quiet and unassuming at first, Ellie has a wickedly dry sense of humour and a mischievous laugh that usually means she’s up to something!

She’s also a secret lover of wellies (although we’re not entirely sure why it’s a secret!).

Whether she’s helping customers find their perfect shed or delivering a perfectly timed one-liner, Ellie brings her own unique charm to the team.

Don’t let the quiet exterior fool you – there’s plenty of mischief behind that smile!

Aisling – Sales Assistant

Aisling is part of the Naas Road team and before joining us, we had helped out a charity that she was involved with! If you’re at the Naas Road showroom, you’ll more than likely be dealing with Aisling!

Griffy the Giant Giraffe – Necky Mascot 

“DE NECK OF YEEEWWW!”

Griffy is our Naas Road mascot. Visible on the N7, he’s here to welcome all shed shoppers and keep an eye on the traffic. He loves acacia leaves, wild apricots and solid, level bases.

 – Marketing Manager

 

‘Handy’ Andy – Warehouse Operative

If you’re collecting a flat-packed shed, more than likely, you’ll meet Andy. He’s very popular and very helpful – though he is a Liverpool fan. Can’t have it all, I suppose.

Gintaris

Gintaras – Warehouse Manager

Stronger than Thor and the Incredible Hulk combined, Gintaras looks after our warehouses. He’s incredibly good at Tetris, as a result. If you talk to him, he’ll tell you about the next holiday he has planned.

Karl – Delivery Driver / Animal Handler

Karl is the man in the van. He has an army of dogs at his disposal, as well as an owl, a pheasant and at least one sheep – and if you’re nice to him, he’ll bring you in chicken and duck eggs, too.
