Zevas Communications has announced plans for a new hub in the north Cork town.
Zevas was established in 2001, and employs over 150 people in Cork, Dublin and Waterford.
Zevas launched its “hub’ strategy plan in 2019 to offset the challenges of urban-only centres. Due to the onset of COVID the plan was fast-tracked, launched in Dungarvan and has now been expanded into Mitchelstown.
The Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Leo Varadkar T.D. said: “This is really great news for Mitchelstown. Zevas Communications is expanding to the town, creating 50 new jobs. It’s a great boost for the area. The company has embraced a hybrid working model. This is commendable. I’m a big fan of remote working and think it should be one of the positive legacies of the pandemic. The very best of luck to the entire Zevas team.”
John O’Sullivan, Chief Operating Officer at Zevas Communications explains why they chose Mitchelstown, “Mitchelstown is an ideal location in a central and accessible part of the country, it has a vibrant and skilled workforce within its hinterland, and as we expand is perfectly positioned to attract and accommodate more.
“We were particularly impressed with the site we found here in Mitchelstown. It is state of the art and required very little work to get it up and running. That’s why we have started recruiting already. Even though all restrictions have been lifted, we will continue to offer our ‘hybrid’ model for staff. That said, we are ready for staff to enter and work from the Mitchelstown ‘hub’ immediately.
“As always, we will provide as much assistance as we can to enable our workforce to work from home or the office, all in order to ensure the same high level of service. We’d like to thank Enterprise Ireland for the assistance they have provided over the past few years, enabling us to grow and achieve our ambitions and goals.”
