A NUMBER of new jobs are expected to be announced for Drogheda this week with the opening of the MTI Global Services at the Market Plaza Building on Magdalene Street, Drogheda.

Minister for Jobs, Enterprise & Innovation Mary Mitchell- O’Connor TD will unveil the new firm, which is an IDA supported business, on Wednesday.

MTI Global Services is a worldwide leader within the Technology Services Industry and work with a series of household names.

Work at getting the premises ready for this week has been ongoing for some months.

The arrival of such a top American name to the town is seen as a huge boost to the region.

For former Jobs Minister, Senator Ged Nash, it comes as no surprise that Drogheda is now seen as a place to do business.

‘ The MTI jobs are a major vote of confidence in Drogheda. It is very gratifying for me to see the work I did as Employment Minister when I was a TD still delivering real benefits for our town. I always put Drogheda first and I firmly expect to see more good news on the jobs front on the way soon.’

He says it is particular­ly welcome that the company will be in a town centre location with the knock-on increase in footfall which will represent a financial boost for the businesses in the heart of Drogheda.

Some jobs at MTI in Drogheda have already been advertised and positions will be available across the operation.
