Triple jobs boost to create 480 roles

A leading linen and laundry company plans to create up to 200 jobs over the next two years as part of a €12m investment in a huge new facility in Cork.

The Kings Laundry announcement came as professional recruitment firm Morgan McKinley also revealed its plans to create 80 jobs in Dublin, Cork, Limerick, and Waterford as part of a global expansion that will see its global workforce grow from 800 to 1,100.

Management consulting company Accenture is also to add 200 additional positions in the capital.
