Galway Bay fm newsroom – Galway’s technology hub and talent pool were the chief drivers in an Australian firm’s decision to establish a new base here.
SiteMinder, one of the hotel industry’s leading cloud platforms, is to create 100 new jobs in the city.
The firm will initially be based at the Portershed before moving into a more permanent space.
The project comes one month ahead of SiteMinder’s 10-year milestone, to support the company’s 20,000-strong global hotel customer base.
The Galway office will complement SiteMinder’s existing EMEA headquarters in London to service hotels both within the region and around the world, and will be the company’s fifth office along with Bangkok, Dallas and Sydney.
SiteMinder’s customer base in Ireland includes Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel and K Club, as well as Galway’s Connacht Hotel and The g Hotel and Spa.
The official announcement is being made at the Connacht Hotel this lunchtime.
Dai Williams is Managing Director at the firm – he says Galway is a perfect match for the company’s values and culture.
Caitriona Blewitt of the IDA told our reporter Lyndsay Hughes that Galway is a fantastic product to market for such expansions.
