Welcome to the Christmas edition of our newsletter. In this we take a look back on some special achievements and events that took place for our team over the course of 2021.
It has been a challenging year for everybody on so many fronts but an extremely rewarding one too.
We started off 2021 in lockdown and working from home, pushing our teams to adapt quickly once again. The Quintas team stood strong and left no stone unturned to ensure we were there to guide our clients through the financial impact of the pandemic.
I am extremely grateful to and proud of all of my colleagues for their efforts in such a demanding environment.
Despite the increased restrictions on the horizon as we close out 2021, I am confident that brighter times are ahead for all, once we get through this difficult period.
I would like to express our thanks and gratitude to you, our clients, for your continued loyalty and custom. Your belief in Quintas gives us the confidence to continue developing and growing in strength.
I would like to wish you and your loved ones a safe and happy Christmas.
We look forward to working with you in 2022.

- Cork also had a first this year with their first All Ireland Hurling Final since 2013. Quintas staff supported by decking themselves and the office out in red in support of the rebels.
This was a fun challenge we set ourselves last year and decided to keep going into 2021. We wanted to see where and how far we could take our new branded products. This is a selection of the photos taken by both members of the Quintas team and clients during 2021. So far our branded products have visited Croke Park, a number of beaches, Fota wildlife park, The Hill of Tara, The top of Croagh Patrick, Blarney Castle, Knock, Kilkee Cliffs, Courtmacsherry, Kinsale Harbour, Baltimore Harbour, Youghal.
Despite the demands of work, our team, as always, found time to give back to others and we were delighted to be able to support a number of Charities during 2021. These included a Quintas Steps Challenge as a fundraiser for Pieta House which raised an amazing €2,000 and a donation of €500 to the SVP Christmas food appeal. To end the year, we also had a Quintas Christmas Jumper Day last Friday in aid of the Cork Simon Community. Well done to everyone!
