Omnivend O2 deal could result in 40 jobs

A Co Waterford-based technology company has signed a deal with O2 that could result in the creation of up to 40 jobs.

Omnivend is a niche provider of specialist kiosks that allow people to top up their mobile phones. The company has signed a deal with O2 that will see its kiosks placed in 20 O2 stores around Ireland with the possibility of the kiosks also being sold in the UK.

CEO Omnivend Fiona Dowd said they were hopeful that the expansion into the UK would provide a boost of employment for Waterford.
