Cork firm to double workforce in next two years

Up to 30 highly-skilled staff are based there, working in software development, quality assurance, operations and inside sales. But there are plans to more than double the headcount there to around 70 over the next two years.

An Irish firm which helps companies manage their employee share plans hopes to double the workforce at its new Cork city office within two years.

Clonakilty-based Global Shares, Deloitte’s FinTech Company of the Year and a Fast 50 company which has opened offices in Lisbon, Hong Kong and Beijing this year and more than doubled its overall workforce to over 300, celebrated the official opening of its new Cork centre city premises today.
