Irish agency set up in Far East

BERKLEY has become the first Irish recruitment firm to establish a base in Singapore as part of a big investment that could eventually create up to 60 jobs.

The company, which is based in Cork, is also planning on opening other offices as a subsidiary of its Singapore base over the coming years in locations such as China and Taiwan.

Berkley specialises in information technology, pharmaceutical, life sciences and sales and marketing in Ireland, Britain and Australia.
