Our Story

SwiftComply’s story begins when our founder, Mick O’Dwyer, was a wastewater engineer at Dublin City Council. Faced with a growing fatberg problem, Mick saw how outdated processes and strained relationships made it difficult for regulators and restaurants to work together.

Mick responded by creating Europe’s first Fat, Oil & Grease (FOG) program. The impact was immediate and over time resulted in a 95% reduction in fatbergs across the city.

That experience shaped his vision for SwiftComply. In 2016, Mick founded the company to help cities and businesses solve compliance challenges side by side. What started as a single FOG system has grown into a complete water platform supporting hundreds of communities across North America.

It’s been a whirlwind journey so far. You can check out some of the highlights below.

Our Values

Together We Deliver

Earn Trust Every Day

Through honesty, respect, and consistency, we create strong relationships and lasting partnerships. Trust is earned in every interaction, and we aim to set the standard.

Do's and Don'ts

Do:

  • Deliver thoughtful, constructive feedback in a way that helps others improve and grow.
  • Communicate with transparency, ensuring that customers and teammates are always informed.
  • Keep your word and follow through on commitments.

Don’t:

  • Withhold feedback, especially when it could help solve a problem or improve performance.
  • Create solutions that only work in the short term or aren’t sustainable.
  • Treat anyone unfairly, dismissively, or without respect.

Stronger Together

We share ideas openly, communicate widely, and hold a high bar for each other. By breaking down silos and asking for help when needed, we find solutions that make a difference.

Do's and Don'ts

Do:

  • Actively seek input from your teammates or customers when tackling challenges.
  • Share relevant information openly and proactively to keep everyone aligned.
  • Collaborate across teams, building on each other’s strengths to solve problems faster.
  • Hold yourself and others accountable to high standards when working together.

Don’t:

  • Hesitate to ask for help or try to tackle everything on your own.
  • Keep important information or updates to yourself.
  • Take on everything by yourself instead of leveraging the team’s expertise.
  • Settle for a “good enough” solution when a stronger one is possible.
  • Undermine trust in the team by not delivering on your part.

Own It and Deliver

When we commit to something, we see it through. Ownership means driving progress forward, identifying loose ends, and consistently delivering on our promises.

Do's and Don'ts

Do:

  • Take initiative when you see a problem—identify it and drive it toward a resolution.
  • Follow up on open items to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
  • Treat every task and commitment with the care and attention you’d expect from others.
  • Step up to address systemic issues, even if they fall outside your immediate responsibilities.

Don’t:

  • Assume someone else will handle a loose end or unresolved issue.
  • Deliver work that doesn’t meet the agreed-upon standard.
  • Ignore recurring issues—raise them and work toward long-term fixes.
  • Wait to be asked before taking action on something that clearly needs to be done.
