Zurich Life Ireland to create 50 jobs

PENSIONS and life assurance specialist Zurich Life Ireland is to create 50 jobs by the end of the year.

The positions will come about through the establishment of a cross-border “manufacturing and servicing hub” aimed at administering life products into the British and mainland European markets.

In what the company called good news for the business and for the Irish economy, as a whole, 25 of the jobs – mainly in IT and professional services – have already been filled, with the rest of the new employees due to be taken on by year end.
