150 New Jobs Created In Cork
A Cork company is to create 150 new jobs over the next three years.
SouthWestern announced a €3.5 million investment in research and development with support from government through Enterprise Ireland.
SouthWestern is a market leader in Business Process Outsourcing, servicing leading public and private sector clients in the Irish, UK and European markets. The firm currently employs 450 people in Ireland and another 150 internationally.
Announcing the jobs, Enterprise Minister Richard Bruton said: “Job creation is my number one priority, and if we are to turn the corner and get the employment growth we so badly need, we will have to focus on three things: reducing business costs, improving access to finance and encouraging innovation across the economy. Government does not create jobs, but if job-creating businesses like SouthWestern are to succeed and grow across the country, the government has a huge role to play. We must not only provide supports but must also provide leadership in the economy as a substantial actor in its own right.”
The Minister concluded: “The announcement that SouthWestern is creating 150 jobs and investing heavily in R&D in a regional location shows what can be achieved when government and innovative companies work together. I am determined to build on this and ensure that government keeps its end of the bargain so that good companies can replicate this announcement across the country in the coming years.”
