The Firefly Story

Martin McGeough, a qualified podiatrist, set up the Belfast Foot Clinic in 1989 after gaining extensive career experience practicing podiatry at home and in the United States. In 2003 he and his wife Jill moved to Leitrim where they set up Firefly to supply 'custom made'' orthotics to the podiatric profession across the UK and Ireland.

The Belfast Foot Clinic was rebranded as Firefly Foot & Ankle Clinic and grew to incorporate clinics in Sligo, where the company is now headquartered, Dublin, Cork with the latest clinic operating in Galway city.

Over his career Martin has provided podiatric advice and services to Premier League football clubs which include Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspurs, Norwich, Newcastle West Ham and Aston Villa. Firefly also supplies their custom made foot orthotics to the European golf tour.

In 2014 Greg Gillanders joined Firefly Foot and Ankle Clinics. Greg brings extensive career experience having practiced in the renowned Headley Court military hospital in the UK.

Since joining Firefly Foot & Ankle Clinics, Greg has become Managing Director. In this position he has overseen the growth of the company with our Belfast clinic relocating to Kingsbridge Private Hospital on the Lisburn Road and the opening of our most recent clinic Galway city centre.
