Limerick, Ireland- Monday, June 26, 2023: The Forbes Under 30 Forum witnessed first-hand the outstanding commercial property offerings of Limerick, as they visited the multi-award winning, LEED Gold, Gardens International building this afternoon. 
 
Greeted by the developer and owner of the stunning Henry Street building, Limerick Twenty Thirty and one of its anchor tenants, Transact Campus “Transact,” the Forbes tour group received an up-close look at the vibrant developments and interact with one of the most dynamic companies in the region.  
 
The group was given a tour of the stunning five-floor building, which was completed to an award-winning international standard after Limerick Twenty Thirty took it over in 2016. Now established as the crown jewel of commercial properties in the Mid-West region and touted as one of the finest in Ireland, it has raised the bar for future projects. This trend will continue with the company’s ensuing developments, namely, Opera Square and Cleeves Riverside Quarter.  Pic Arthur Ellis

At The Bedford we pride ourselves in supporting local suppliers who provide the highest quality ingredients for our menu. Our menu incorporates many local Limerick food producers including Rigneys Farm, Seamus Butler Butchers, Ballyhoura Mushrooms and Croom Free Range Eggs to name but a few.

By sourcing our ingredients from nearby farms and producers, we not only support local businesses but also reduce our carbon footprint. Our commitment to sustainability and freshness extends beyond our menu and into our partnerships with those who provide us with the finest ingredients.

The same ethos applies to our beverages – our coffee is a specialty Indian Blend provided by Ponaire from Newport, our hot chocolate is O’Conaills from Cork and our herbal teas are from Cahill’s Tea in Limerick.

Excellent

We picked The Bedford Townhouse and cafe for a night away for our Anniversary. It’s perfectly located in the heart of Limerick city. The room we had was fabulous and the breakfast in the cafe very tasty. You can avail of a reduced rate for the multi story car park across the road and all shops and restaurants are very nearby. We will be back!
