Google tops list of ‘reputable’ firms

INTERNET services giant Google has been named Ireland’s most reputable company for a second consecutive year.

The US-headquartered internet search engine/online tools company — which employs more than 2,000 people here and has consistently been voted one of the best firms for which to work in Ireland, in recent years — topped the latest list of reputable companies, conducted by marketing and public relations agency, Corporate Reputations.

The 2011 ‘RepTrak’ study — labelled as the most comprehensive study of corporate reputations in Ireland — ranked Cadbury, Kellogg’s, Nokia and Volkswagen as the next best in the top five.
