NEWCASTLE West is set to get 50 new full time jobs as food company Sysco continues their expansion in the town.
As part of the company’s multi-million euro investment, staff numbers on the Newcastle West site will grow to over 400.
Mayor of Limerick City and County councillor Gerald Mitchell said that the announcement is a cause for celebration.
“The delivery of 50 new jobs by food service provider Sysco is another positive economic win for West Limerick. These jobs will have a further knock on effect for Newcastle West and the wider area.”
“Following on so soon after Britvic announced a €6million investment at Ballygowan, it is clear that companies can prosper in rural Limerick,” the Mayor said.
“The world class facilities at Limerick’s Regional Athletics hub and other top class amenities are adding to the attractiveness of Newcastle West as a place to live, work, and settle down. I want to congratulate Sysco on their latest investment and wish them well in their continued expansion.”
The investment in Sysco comes just a few weeks after drinks company Britvic announced a €6 million investment in its Ballygowan facility in Newcastle West, creating 28 new jobs.
Chief Executive of Limerick City and County Council, Dr Pat Daly, said: “This investment by Sysco exemplifies the spirit of cooperation that defines Limerick.”
“Limerick City and County Council works closely with local businesses, the community, and relevant stakeholders to create an environment where companies like Sysco can thrive,” he continued.
“It not only brings jobs to our county capital but also strengthens the entire community. Newcastle West is a testament to the success that can be achieved when we work together to build a brighter economic future for Limerick,” Dr Daly concluded.
