Irish IT managed services and digital transformation company HCS said today it will invest €13.2m in the business by 2028 as it creates 125 new jobs, expands its footprint and enhances its service offering for customers.
The new jobs, which will be created by 2028, are in cybersecurity, risk, compliance, digital services, enterprise sales, and presales.
Recruitment has already begun and these new roles will grow the company’s headcount to 175 employees across its Waterford, Cork, and Dublin locations.
Waterford-headquartered HSC said the new investment also supports the opening of a new office in Blanchardstown Corporate Park in Dublin.
HCS is aiming to drive annual revenue to €30m by the end of 2028.
It said that AI adoption is a key driver of this growth, with customers increasingly incorporating AI into their operations to automate processes, boost productivity, and remain competitive.
Pamela Farrell, Managing Director of HCS, said the new investment reflects the company’s confidence that it is ideally positioned to capitalise on high-growth areas such as AI and cybersecurity.
“This move marks a significant acceleration in our growth plans as we look to expand our teams and bolster our presence across the country. In turn, this will enable us to meet evolving customer needs and help them to stay ahead in increasingly complex work environments,” she said.
“Opening a new Dublin office is a huge milestone for us. The city is home to some of Ireland’s most dynamic businesses, and having an enhanced base there, along with our existing Waterford and Cork offices, puts us in a stronger position to serve that market and attract talent,” she added.
In late 2024, HCS was bought by Centric360, an investment company jointly owned by Pamela Farrell and Brian Larkin.
