Great news from our Corporate Patron, MyLife Bathrooms on their plans to construct a new £15m HQ, which will become one of the largest commercial buildings in Newry City.
MyLife Bathrooms are yet another Newry success story. Founded in 2013 by Newry native, Andrew O’Brien, MyLife Bathrooms has rapidly become a market leading supplier of high-quality bathroom products with a network of 500+ retailers and plumbing merchants across the UK and Ireland.
MyLife’s new purpose-built facility will span over three floors, consisting of 85,000 sq ft of warehousing and 30,000 sq ft of office space and a new showroom. The new building is expected to open in Summer 2026 and will strengthen MyLife’s operational capabilities, supporting its long-term growth ambitions.
The new MyLife building has been designed by Tania and Colin Dalton from CD Architects, with Kelly Brothers from Warrenpoint appointed as the lead contractors.
Work has already commenced at the site and it is envisaged that the MyLife team will move into the brand new state-of-the-art building next summer.
Andrew O’Brien, Founder of MyLife Bathrooms commented:
“From a team of four back in 2013, we now employ over 130 people across three sites- here in Newry, in Wishaw, Scotland and Southam, England, and today marks a new milestone in the MyLife journey.”
“MyLife has consistently grown over the past 12 years, in large part due to the quality of our products, strength of our designs, and our exceptional team. This investment reflects our confidence in the business as we move forward.”
“The new facilities will deliver capacity to grow in the years ahead, enabling the business to meet increasing customer demand, create new job opportunities, and improve our business-to-business customer experience as we maintain our exceptional standards of customer care.”
Grainne Fearon, Managing Director of MyLife Bathrooms added:
“Investing in this new warehouse and office facility is a key step in strengthening our market position.”
“The additional space will allow us to broaden our product range and, as a purpose-built facility, we have designed the building to include a showroom for our retailer customers, a technical and testing area and a brand-new training academy, reinforcing MyLife’s commitment to excellence and product development.”
Colin Dalton, Managing Director of CD Architects said:
“Today is the culmination of seven years of efforts in bringing this building to fruition. We have worked alongside Andrew to ensure the new MyLife building is built for the future using sustainable building practices and to see the site start to take shape is incredible.”
“MyLife’s new HQ will become a flagship building in Newry city due to its scale and location. Occupying a prime site at the Warrenpoint end of Greenbank Industrial Estate, the building will be clearly visible to commuters travelling along the A2 Warrenpoint Road.”
Ronan Kelly, Managing Director of Kelly Brothers added:
“We are thrilled to commence construction on the new MyLife storage and distribution centre in Newry – a flagship project that represents a significant investment in the region’s economy.”
“As a fellow family-run business within South Down, we are proud to lead in the delivery of this state-of-the-art facility, constructed to the highest standards of quality and efficiency.”
MyLife Bathrooms are yet another fantastic example of the entrepreneurial spirit and vision within our people and local business community that sets our city and wider region apart from other places.
In a period of just over 10 years, MyLife Bathrooms has gone from a market newcomer to a market leader, employing in excess of 130 people across the business.
Their journey to date has been incredible to witness, we are so proud to have them as a Corporate Patron of the Chamber and we wish the team every continued success and further growth in the coming years.
