Ireland is such a key market for us, and we are investing significantly here to grow the already very strong team and presence as demand for our top-rated service expands.”

SD Worx provides a valuable service and expertise to many companies. I am delighted they have chosen the Midwest Region which has many advantages for companies to base themselves and I am confident that SD Worx will have a successful future in Ireland.”
CEO of IDA Ireland, Martin Shanahan said: “This move positions SD Worx to achieve further international growth. Its presence in Limerick is a welcome addition to the strong HR service sector here. I wish the company every success.”
