DSG to create 100 jobs in first phase of expansion over next 18 months

DSG — the company which operates the Currys and PC World electrical chain stores — is to create 100 jobs as part of the first phase of an ambitious expansion programme for its Irish operations.

The group will open an unspecified number of shops nationwide over the next 18 months, as part of its “renewal and transformation” programme which will also include store refurbishment work and a partial rebranding. No value has been put on the total investment being made.

The level of new shop openings will be dependent on the identification of available sites, something which is being undertaken and the full details of the new openings will be announced later in the year.
