Martin welcomes new jobs for Cork

Minister for Enterprise Micheál Martin has welcomed the announcement by insurance agency Assurant Solutions that it is expanding its operations in Cork with the creation of 25 new jobs.

Minister Martin said: This expansion is a vote of confidence in the Cork region and is a tribute to the hard work and dedication of the existing 50 management and staff already based in Mahon."

"The Cork office provides vital support to Assurant’s operations in the US and Europe, where it provides specialised insurance. The expansion will see the creation of quality jobs in Cork and shows that we can continue to compete with locations across Europe in attracting investment and employment."

"I also welcome the fact that management at Assurant Solutions recognise that their operation at Mahon has 'the capabilities and facilities to accommodate significant expansion'.

Assurant has strong links with Cork and has been based here since 1999, I wish the company, its management and staff every success into the future", said Minister Martin.
