150 new jobs created in Cork


A company which provides outsourcing services has announced that they are looking to recruit 150 employees as part of a planned company expansion. SouthWestern provides finance, human resources and customer relations management services to other companies. Indeed, just two weeks ago it was reported that Vodafone was to outsource its debt collection function to SouthWestern.

The company already employs 450 people in Clonakilty, with a further 150 people in Poland, serving customers across Ireland, Britain and Europe.

The company's ability to grow in Ireland and internationally is under-pinning today's announcement, coupled with a €3.5m investment in research and technology.

Enterprise Ireland is contributing to that investment because of the potential for the company to create more jobs here by expanding abroad.

Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation Richard Bruton made the announcement stating: 'Today's 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 today's announcement across the country in the coming years.'
