“This investment further cements our position within EMEA, and we are confident we can provide our existing customer base and potential new customers with an alternative option for their Support and Maintenance, and IT Managed Services requirements,” said Chris Adams, President and COO of Park Place. “Partnering with the Irish Government has created a clear path to expansion and investment.”
“We require associates with strong technical skills, and an ability to be agile across multiple technologies,” Adams added. “They must have a strong appetite to grow and learn and exhibit a constant focus on the customer experience. All hiring will be in country, with future relocations into Ireland possible with new acquisitions. IDA Ireland has offered insight, guidance and access to resources that has been invaluable to our investment.”
Executive Director of IDA Ireland Mary Buckley said, “This announcement by Park Place Technologies that it is establishing an EMEA Operations Centre in Cork to support future growth across the region is very welcome news. It adds to IDA Ireland’s significant cluster of technology companies in Cork, reinforcing the area’s reputation as an ideal location for such business. I wish the Park Place Technologies team every success and look forward to working with the company as its build out its centre here.”
“The primary attraction to opening this Operations Centre in Cork, aside from the geopolitical positioning in EMEA, is the access to the talent profile needed to support our ongoing growth,” states Nicola Buckley, Sr. VP, Advanced Engineering and Call Centre for Park Place, who is an Irish native and graduate of University College Cork. “We have received great assistance from the Irish Government with on-the-ground facilitation including assistance with facility sourcing, creating networks locally, and public relations.”
