About

A Family Run Business

Cole Partnership is a family business that evolved from an original practice setup in the 1965 by John Joseph Cole, Civil Engineer and Town Surveyor based in St. Davids Building Warrenpoint.

In 1975, his son Aidan became his partner and Senior Chartered Architectural Technologist.

In 1980, the practice relocated to its present location at 12A Duke Street in Warrenpoint, where it has remained ever since.

The business took another proud step forward in 2013 when Aidan was joined by his son, John Cole, who came into the practice as a Chartered Architectural Technologist. In recent years, John has become a director of the practice, continuing the family tradition with the same dedication and passion that has shaped the practice for generations.
