Voxpro in jobs pledge after €150m takeover

Cork outsourcing company Voxpro said it has been taken over by Canadian IT giant Telus International in a deal estimated at €150m, and said that not only are jobs safe but it could expand its operations.

Voxpro, founded by Cork husband and wife Dan and Linda Kiely, is one of the country’s biggest employers. It has more than 2,000 staff at its Blackrock headquarters in the city, and has hundreds of more people employed in Dublin, Bucharest, the US, and Philippines.

Not only are the current jobs safe, but the deal means the company could grow further in the future, according to a Voxpro spokesman.
