Voxpro: The €150m firm that began life with six staff above a Cork pub

Cork outsourcing company Voxpro has given a boost to students in the county, saying it is eyeing the talent pool from the likes of CIT and UCC as it expands following a €150m takeover by Canadian firm Telus International.

Founded by husband and wife Dan and Linda Kiely almost 20 years ago, Voxpro has grown from a six-employee team to a powerhouse employing almost 3,000 in Cork and Dublin, California and Georgia in the US, Bucharest, Romania, and Manila, Philippines.

The deal was announced on Mr Kiely’s birthday and is said to be a lucrative one for the couple.
