A look inside a global giant: Apple and their European headquarters in Cork

The European headquarters of the world’s biggest company employs 4,000 workers in Cork, and today Tim Cook announced the creation of a further 1,000 jobs at the site. Peter O’Dwyer got a rare look inside the global tech giants’ Cork plant earlier this year.

It’s lunchtime at the European headquarters of the world’s biggest company.

The in-house restaurant, perched in a quiet corner of Cork’s northside, teems with Apple employees from every conceivable nationality, while at one table a Spaniard explains the technology giant’s secret to success.
