Cadoo grows as text messaging surges in Irish and UK markets

Cork-based app developer Cadoo opens new office in UK as use of SMS services doubles during pandemic

Cillian McCarthy, CEO of Cadoo, says that demand for reliable text messaging services has soared during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Mobile messaging services provider Cadoo is set to double its staffing levels within the next 12 to 18 months as it expands in the UK market.

Covid-19 has sparked a surge in critical business messaging, with Cadoo sending two million messages each month — up from 1.2m before the pandemic. The Cork-based app service plans to add five UK-based sales staff and five new Irish-based developers to the ten staff already working in Cork and Dublin.
