Guaranteed Irish boosts jobs in Cork
For every 100 jobs created in Guaranteed Irish businesses, a further 49 are supported across Ireland through local supply chains according to research from KPMG this year.
And as part of their ongoing expansion in Munster, Guaranteed Irish is focusing on Cork, with dedicated full-time local representation and initiatives designed to support their growing Cork-based eco-system. The Guaranteed Irish logo is the national symbol of trust in business.
From food and retail to manufacturing, healthcare, and construction, Cork’s Guaranteed Irish members are not only creating employment but also building sustainable local supply chains.
Pipelife, based in Little Island is the sponsor of Guaranteed Irish’s inaugural Energy & Utilities Month this October, celebrating members driving sustainability and innovation across the sector. From small businesses to larger manufacturers, and leading national names including Musgrave, FBD Insurance, PTSB, Cash & Carry Kitchens and Cork Builder Providers, these businesses create employment and support local communities in the towns across the county. These members embody the Guaranteed Irish values of supporting jobs, strengthening communities, and driving innovation. 75% agree that they have benefited financially by having the 'G' symbol on communications.
Guaranteed Irish impact
From local events and networking to the Guaranteed Irish House Initiative, members in Cork benefit from stronger connections to an eco-system to do business with other local Irish businesses and to further grow your Irish supply chain. By choosing Guaranteed Irish businesses, consumers in Cork and beyond are directly supporting local jobs and driving sustainable economic growth.
