Gerry Quinn began his career at Powerscreen in the early 1980s, travelling extensively to support the brand’s global distribution network and customers. As a key figure on the Technical Helpdesk, his deep knowledge and approachable manner earned him widespread respect.
Beyond technical support, Gerry became a cornerstone of the Powerscreen community, embodying reliability, exceptional service, and strong personal connections.
Terry McNally

Terry’s impact is remembered in the relationships he built, the expertise he shared, and the high standards he established.

Dermot Corrigan
Dermot Corrigan’s association with Powerscreen began in 1968 during its early days as Ulster Plant. A highlight of his career was the MK1/PC100 restoration project (2005/2006), which celebrated Powerscreen’s heritage and revitalised its headquarters in Dungannon.
Dermot’s contributions spanned new product launches, engineering innovations, and machinery refinements, all of which reinforced Powerscreen’s reputation for engineering excellence and market leadership.
