DSG to create 100 new jobs
DSG Retail Ireland will create 100 jobs after confirming the first phase of a development programme that will see the opening of new stores in 2010 and a roll-out of a new retailing format. The programme will commence this summer.
In addition, plans are being developed to completely re-fit the PC World store in Galway and the Currys and PC World stores in Limerick following the success of Currys in Galway which has traded above expectations since its refurbishment in the latter part of 2009.
Business will operate as normal during these developments and no existing jobs will be affected during the course of this activity.
Commenting on the development, Declan Ronayne, Managing Director of DSG Retail Ireland Ltd said: “In a very tough economic environment, we have proved our retailing mettle by trading successfully. We’ve done this by focusing on Value, Choice and Service for customers, as well as trimming costs where possible and becoming an even leaner, more efficient operation. Introducing eye-catching campaigns like the UK Vat Campaign where we offered parity with Northern Ireland’s prices also drove customers to our stores.
