Bathroom supplier MyLife Bathrooms has unveiled plans for a significant new chapter in its growth journey with the construction of a purpose-built warehouse and office facility in Newry. Spanning 105,000 square feet, the new development will be among the largest commercial buildings in the city and is scheduled to open in summer 2026.
This marks the company’s third premises move in just 12 years, a reflection of its rapid expansion across the UK and Ireland. The new site, located at the Warrenpoint-end of Greenbank Industrial Estate, will provide the space needed to support continued business growth and operational efficiency.
Founded in 2013 by Andrew O’Brien, MyLife has grown from a four-person operation to a team of over 130, with strategic locations in Newry, Wishaw in Scotland, and Southam in England. The new headquarters will comprise 85,000 sq ft of warehouse space and 30,000 sq ft of offices, including a showroom, a technical testing area, and a dedicated training academy.
“Our growth over the past 12 years has been driven by the quality of our products, innovative designs, and our incredible team,” said Andrew O’Brien, Founder of MyLife Bathrooms.
“This investment is a reflection of our confidence in the business and our ambition for the future. The new facility will allow us to continue expanding our product range, enhance our customer experience, and create new job opportunities as we move forward.”
Grainne Fearon, Managing Director at MyLife, described the new building as a pivotal step for the brand:
“This new facility is a key step in strengthening our market position. With additional space, we will be able to broaden our product offering while also introducing a purpose-built showroom for our retailer customers, a technical and testing area, and a brand-new training academy—reinforcing our commitment to excellence and innovation.”
The building has been designed by Tania and Colin Dalton of CD Architects, with construction led by Kelly Brothers LLP, a family-run business based in nearby Warrenpoint. Construction is already underway.
“This project has been seven years in the making, and seeing it come to life is incredible,” said Colin Dalton. “The MyLife headquarters will be a flagship building in Newry, designed for the future using sustainable building practices. Its prime location at Greenbank Industrial Estate means it will be highly visible to commuters along the A2 Warrenpoint Road.”
Ronan Kelly, Managing Director of Kelly Brothers, added:
“We are proud to be part of this landmark project. As a fellow family-run business in South Down, we understand the importance of investing in the local economy, and this facility will be built to the highest standards of quality and efficiency.”
From modest beginnings in a 10,000-square-foot warehouse, MyLife now supplies over 700 customers across the UK and Ireland. The new headquarters is set to strengthen the company’s infrastructure, support its expanding product portfolio, and further reinforce its reputation for reliability, service, and innovation.
