Longford jobs unaffected by Center Parcs takeover

The acquisition of Center Parcs UK by one of the world’s largest commercial real estate companies will have no impact on plans to bring 1,000 permanent jobs to the Midlands as part of its first venture into the Irish market.

The British-based holiday resort group has been snapped up for an undisclosed fee by Canadian Brookfield Property Partners.

The takeover will not impact Center Parcs in any way, nor will it scupper plans to bring the group’s first Irish holiday village to Ballymahon, Co Longford, as previously announced.
