The Irish Republic's Minister of State at the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation has officially opened The NPD Group's new facility in Athlone.
The new facility, a full Global IT/Operations Centre, means an increase from the current 20 employees to 100 over the next three years. The 80 new jobs will be in the areas of data classification, data analytics, quality assurance and software development.

I look forward to building on the already strong working relationship between the Irish Government and NPD and offer the continued support of the Government to The NPD Group as it develops in Ireland.”
