UK furniture store creates 40 jobs at 20,000 sq ft shop

The furnishing giant is taking 20,000 sq ft at the just-completed City Gate Park, near Mahon Point, where the first completed building is due to be opened on Friday by Taoiseach Enda Kenny. It has been bought by Quest Software/Dell, and 80 staff moved in last week, with considerable room for jobs expansion.

The significant retail signing will leave the developers of the mixed-use €50m City Gate Park, John Cleary Developments, well-placed as they await other office and retail tenants, with several expected to sign up early in the New Year and discussions well advanced with others. City Gate Park has scope for up to 1,500 jobs, and only went on site 18 months ago.
