TWO COMPANIES WILL today announce a combined 150 jobs for four counties.

Danone Nutricia Early Life Nutrition will add 50 jobs to its Wexford base.

The recently completed expansion is the final phase of a €180m investment programme that has taken place at the company’s Irish operations in Macroom and Wexford over the past four years. By the end of 2014 employment will have increased at Danone in Ireland from 180 to over 400 people.

The recruitment process for the 50 new roles has commenced, and all roles are expected to be filled by the end of this year.

TTM Healthcare

In Clare, healthcare recruitment company TTM Healthcare will expand its operations in Ennis and add 100 new jobs.

The majority of the jobs will be located in Ennis, but some will also support TTM’s offices in Cork, Dublin, London, Preston and Berlin.

The 100 new positions, which will be created over the next three years, will be a mix of compliance and recruitment consultants, as well as sales professionals.

The €5 million investment is supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation through Enterprise Ireland.
