We look forward to expanding our global technology team, as we concurrently look to expand our product offerings and consulting services into Europe.”
Minister for Business, Enterprise & Innovation, Heather Humphreys TD said: “I am delighted that E3 Retail will establish a Software Development and Sales Centre in Sligo. This will result in the creation of more than 40 highly skilled jobs over the next five years.”
