Cian Brennan's experience on the "Dark Side" of the construction industry gives him unique insights into contracts and the devastating effects they can have on businesses. For almost two decades, he saw hundreds and hundreds of Construction Companies being bullied contractually, losing money and going out of business. That's why he founded Quantum Contract Solutions, to help contractors avoid common contract pitfalls and succeed in this challenging industry.
Cian's hard work has not gone unnoticed - he's won a 40 under 40 award, a Best of Business Award for innovation and outstanding growth, and has been a finalist for entrepreneur of the year in the CEO Magazine and business news newspaper.
