THE Mayor of the City and County of Limerick is describing May as “a bumper month for job creation in Limerick” with a number of significant announcements.
Electrical engineering firm H&MV are the latest company to announce a major jobs boost, with 700 new jobs announced across their global operations, over the next five years.
On Friday, the company, which provides services to the energy market has opened its new global headquarters in Castletroy with space for 350 workers.
Last week, Analog Devices announced the creation of an additional 600 positions in Limerick, with a €630 million investment at their site in Raheen while on Thursday, Apex Group Ltd, a global financial services provider, opened a new office in Dooradoyle, creating another bout of new job opportunities.
Earlier this month, French sports retailer Decathlon opened their second Irish store at the Parkway Retail Park, with 64 new jobs created locally while Universal Display Corporation and PPG also officially opened a new state-of-the-art organic light-emitting diode (OLED) manufacturing facility in Shannon.
Welcoming the recent announcements and the investment in Limerick and the Mid-West, Mayor of the City and County of Limerick, Cllr Francis Foley said: "The announcement by H&MV tops off a bumper month for job creation in Limerick. We have so many prominent companies not just coming into Limerick but locally based companies that are expanding. It is a good sign for our economy that the jobs that have been recently announced are drawing their workers from a number of different talent pools. It’s a vote of confidence in the whole region.”
Chief Executive of Limerick City and County Council, Dr Pat Daly, spoke of the talent and work life balance which Limerick offers. Dr Daly said: “H&MV are just the latest on a growing list of companies that have recognised the advantages of basing their operations in Limerick. We have the talent and Limerick offers a great work life balance. Limerick City and County Council work with businesses to help maximise their opportunities for success. This is done in collaboration with other state agencies and our top class third level institutions. This approach is returning great dividends for Limerick.”
