A construction firm is to create 100 new jobs in Longford.
Framespace Solutions, a company involved in the establishment and manufacturing of metal housing systems, announced the plans this week as part of an overall €7.5m planned investment drive.
The deal, which is backed by Enterprise Ireland, has seen the firm take over a 110,000 sq ft facility at the county town's former Cameron Willis site which closed in 2016.
Chief executive Declan Murtagh said an initial 30 new posts, some which involved staff transferring from its former Co Roscommon headquarters, would be in situ by the end of January with 100 full time positions coming on stream within 12 months.
"We have a wide variety of jobs from semi skilled or factory operatives to high end designers and 3D rev technicians and structural engineers to design our product," he said.
The Mayo native added a full and extensive recruitment drive as well as PR campaign would likely get underway early in the New Year as the firm looks to cement its foothold in Ireland’s social and affordable housing market.
