Shannon Chamber has described the news that leading global investor services group IG-EQ has chosen to set up a new Funds operation in Shannon as most welcome news, thanking the Company for its confidence and commitment to Shannon.

“The announcement will not only deliver 45 additional jobs for Shannon but it will add a total new dimension to a company that has already embedded itself into the business community here. Financial services is a key sector at Shannon and we welcome the additional skills and high-calibre positions that will now be attracted to Shannon as a result of this new development.

“We look forward to virtually welcoming IQ-EQ’s new executives to Shannon, and in person when restrictions are lifted,” added Ms Downes.
