Making the announcement today, An Taoiseach Enda Kenny said: “I am pleased to welcome HedgeServ’s expansion into Cork where the addition of 150 new jobs will be a great boost for the local economy. The Government continues to have a relentless focus on jobs and is determined that 2014 will see us build on the 1,200 jobs a week being created in 2013. The international financial services sector is a key target for jobs growth in the Action Plan for Jobs and today’s announcement is a positive sign of progress in this area. This is made possible by our best asset – our people – and I am delighted that we are seeing new opportunities in Cork for our talented, flexible workforce.”
