Minister Bruton officially opens company’s global headquarters in Swords
Monday 20th March 2017 – eShopWorld, Ireland’s fastest growing technology company, today announced it will create up to 250 new high-end jobs over the next three years. The announcement coincides with the official opening of its global headquarters at Airside Business Park in Swords, Co. Dublin by Minister for Education and Skills, Richard Bruton, T.D.
Today’s jobs announcement is part of a €25m investment that eShopWorld will make in people, software development and R&D over the coming three years as it continues to grow and expand.
It will bring total employment at eShopWorld to almost 400 staff by 2019, inclusive of 80 new jobs created in 2016.
Given its pace of growth eShopWorld has already started recruiting to fill these full-time, highly skilled roles, which are focused on technical development and R&D activity, and will allow the company to further enhance and upscale its proprietary ecommerce solution. The majority of the roles will be based in Swords.
eShopWorld is one of the world’s leading ecommerce enabling companies.

eShopWorld was launched in Dublin in 2010 by founder and CEO, Tommy Kelly. It has grown from a team of just six staff to 150 today with a presence in Dublin, Newry, the US, Singapore and the Netherlands. In 2016 it was named Ireland’s fastest growing tech company in the Deloitte Fast 50 (for the second year in a row) having quadrupled its revenues to €211m since 2015.
Commenting on the announcement, eShopWorld CEO Tommy Kelly said;
“We are very pleased to be adding jobs and investment to fulfil demand from leading global brands.
