The 100 new jobs are a real boost. I wish the company all this best with this exciting new chapter."
Adam Kelly, Albany Beck Partner and Head of EU Operations Centre said:
"Over the last couple of years our success in Ireland has been exceptional. Dublin has been the ideal location for Albany Beck and our service offering. The depth of talent in Ireland, especially in software development and financial services has been the key to our growth. As a Dubliner, I take great pleasure in seeing the city continue to thrive, especially with Albany Beck being a part of it."
Celia Johnson, Albany Beck Associate Partner, added:
"Being a part of Albany Beck’s continued growth in my home country over the past 18 months, has been a journey of both pride and passion. Spending so much time in Ireland prior to COVID-19, I’ve watched us grow by developing new client relationships, helping them build their teams, hit regulatory commitments and deliver transformational programmes. This new centre will boost our capabilities and I can’t wait to see it in action."
