Xanadu on a winner

SERVICING an online gaming company that does $3.5bn of annual transactions has made jobs growth at Cork IT specialist Xanadu a one-way bet.

Xanadu Consultancy has grown from just eight employees in 2011 to 60, and will double to 120 over the next while. To allow for future growth, Xanadu has just moved into 6,000 sq ft of quality offices in Black-pool Retail and Office Park’s River House, where there’s scope for further expansion.

Xanadu was set up three years ago by CEO Mark Brosnan, as a support hub for companies in the online gaming industry, which is worth an estimated €44bn a year, and growing. The Irish market is worth up to €2bn pa.
