Our Story
Founded with a simple yet powerful vision, Forty Foot was created as a platform to showcase the creative spirit of the community. The name itself is inspired by the iconic Forty Foot swim in Dublin, a symbol of resilience, tradition, and connection to nature. Much like the swimmers who dive into the frigid waters of Forty Foot, we take the plunge into bold, challenging projects that bring people together and push the boundaries of what’s possible.
