About us

In 2018, Ciara Kilkenny and David Carr founded Simply CDM with a clear mission – to deliver a top-quality CDM Advisory service that not only meets but surpasses the expectations of our esteemed clients.

Since our inception, Simply CDM has experienced robust and organic growth, expanding both our client base and team. Much of this growth is attributed to repeat business and client recommendations, reflecting the satisfaction and trust we’ve earned in the industry.

Recognising that our organisation’s strength lies in the collective contributions of each team member, we place a strong emphasis on recruiting the right individuals. This ensures that we consistently uphold the high standards expected of us by our clients across our entire portfolio of work.

At our core, we are a diverse team of dedicated professionals united by a commitment to professionalism, a shared vision, and common values.

Our Approach

What distinguishes us is our pragmatic and personalised approach. We do not believe in the idea of one-size-fits-all solutions, opting instead to collaborate closely with our clients. We invest the necessary time to comprehend their unique requirements, crafting adaptable solutions that suit their needs.

Our commitment extends to ensuring that every project, irrespective of its scale or budget, is treated with equal importance and receives appropriate dedication and expertise.

We always seek to take a pragmatic approach to the intricacies of CDM and their application to different types of projects and create tailor-made solutions.
