Abtran To Invest €1.5m And Create 50 New Jobs In Cork
Abtran, a leading Irish firm specialising in business process outsourcing services, is to invest €1.5 million in its research and development and professional services divisions.
The move will lead to the creation of 50 new jobs over the next year at Abtran’s Cork headquarters, where over 250 staff are currently employed. It will also lay the foundation for further significant employment expansion in the coming three years.
The investment plans were announced by the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Micheál Martin, at a function in the company’s headquarters at the University Technology Centre, Bishopstown.
Established in 1996, Abtran’s leading position in the provision of customer contact management services is driven by continuous investment in people, processes, technology and infrastructure.
The new jobs will require graduates in areas including research and development, business analysis and software development. Recruitment will take place over the next twelve months. Further employment opportunities are likely to arise in related support functions in the years ahead.
Mr Martin, commented: “The overall high quality of operation which has been achieved by abtran is second to none worldwide. The expansion of this highly successful Irish firm is a logical step based on strategic market research and the exceptional work which has been carried out to date by management and staff. It is deeply encouraging to see an indigenous enterprise grow in this manner.”
Commenting on the announcement, Frank Ryan, CEO of Enterprise Ireland said: "Growing the number of indigenous firms like abtran in the high-value internationally traded services sector is a major focus of Enterprise Ireland’s 2005-2007 Strategy - Transforming Irish Industry.”
