Top US financial services firm to create 400 jobs in Limerick

A leading US financial services company is to more than double its workforce at its Mid-West operation.

Fund administrator Northern Trust is to take on another 400 employees at its Limerick base over the next five years. Jobs Minister Richard Bruton, who met company executives during a trade mission to the US, made the announcement yesterday.

“These are highly-skilled roles and the company will work with University of Limerick and the Limerick Institute of Technology in filling them,” he said.
