Our Story
Fintan Ardagh, 1953 - 2021
Ardagh Agencies was founded in March 2018 by the late Fintan Ardagh and his son, Ciarán Ardagh.
Fintan Ardagh first made a name for himself in the office furniture business through his affiliation with Bob King and Humanscale back in the 1980's.
Growing up with his dad in the furniture business, Ciarán first remembers creating a promotional ad at the age of 12 for office chairs.
On the back of Humanscale's success, ergonomic furniture and all things wellbeing in the workplace subsequently became Fintan's career path.
Today, Ciarán continues on what he and Fintan started together, with the help and support of his wife Lucia.
The idea for Ardagh Agencies was born out of the concept of affiliate marketing, which is a proven method of online selling, pioneered by Amazon, allowing online sales associates, or "affiliates" to earn commission on sales made, stemming from their sales and marketing efforts.
We have adapted this concept to the furniture and interior solutions market. Fintan, who had been in the industry for many years prior, saw a gap when he was learning from Ciarán about these new sales concepts.
Fintan knew that there was a market of international manufacturers who would benefit from having a strong digital presence and be represented by experts, with a deep understanding of the market, working for them on a commission basis, as an affiliate.
The challenge with our business model emerged when we realised that it would be impossible to track the enquiries back to us.
The solution to this was simple in the end... we could only represent brands to work with, who would be in a position to take us on as an extension of their sales team, and who needed us to be involved in all business dealings they carry out in the agreed territory. As it turned out, this method of global distribution was already deep rooted in global sales strategies for many reputable international manufacturers.
With a strong focus on offering design led solutions, Ardagh Agencies today represents some of the most beautiful design furniture, acoustics and interior solutions brands available on the market.
Italian outdoor furniture from Nardi has become one of our biggest success stories in recent years, with many trade partners now taking on this exceptional family company as their number one source for outdoor furniture.
In keeping with our agile mindset, we have evolved our range over the years to include some iconic brands as well as some exciting fresh design led ranges.
Smart specifiers and resellers stay tuned to our weekly email updates and our social media activity as we continually bring cutting edge designs directly to the market in bite sized chunks.
Ciarán Ardagh: Founder / Director
I am driven by the potential for circular materials and emerging manufacturing technologies to reshape how interiors are designed, built, and reused. My role focuses on connecting architects and design teams with sustainable furnishing and interior solutions that offer technical performance without compromising the planet.
My professional focus sits at the intersection of materials innovation, circular economy principles, and commercially viable sustainability. Personally, I’m inspired by nature, innovation, photography, and the outdoors - fueling my belief that good design can coexist with ecological responsibility.
If you’re exploring circularity, sustainable specification, or future materials, I’d be delighted to connect: ciaran@ardaghagencies.ie
