Forty new jobs are to be created in west Cork by Clonakilty-based SouthWestern.
The outsourcing company announced the move as part of a major expansion that also sees it creating 200 jobs over the next three years at its Milton Keynes base in Bedfordshire.
SouthWestern currently employs about 500 people in Clonakilty, where it handles back-office administration for food and drink, media, banking, telecommunications, retail and energy companies sectors
The company, which also employs a further 150 staff at its Polish base in Lodz, opened a London office in 2012.
Last year SouthWestern won a five year contract to deliver a new livestock database for the UK’s Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. The contract is for an electronic movement reporting system and accompanying database for sheep, goats, and deer in England.
SouthWestern was singled by the British trade secretary Lord Livingston on a visit to Dublin last week as an example of an innovative and highly skilled Irish business which is now expanding rapidly in the UK.
The company manages over 5 million customer calls per year and throughputs over €6 billion per year in transactions for its clients. It also processes over 4 million documents, 111,000 pay slips and over 100,000 claims on an annualised basis.
