Careers and Jobs

Employees at ICT Europe can sleep sound tonight as it has become clear that jobs are safe at the Belmullet plant for now.

We informed you yesterday that there were fears of job loss in Co. Mayo BUT these have been misplaced and jobs will not be transferrred to India or Philippines. Staff have been assured of their jobs with the only downsizing in the fact that 50 staff are reduced to a 4 day working week.

Great news BUT lets not hope this is the football equivalent of the board backing the manager and telling him his job is safe.

The rumour mill in Belmullet, Co. Mayo is in overdrive with reports that ICT Europe is about to downsize its operations. This would be a cruel blow to Belmullet as ICT Europe is the biggest employer.

ICT Europe set up about 5 years ago providing outsourced customer management solutions. It currently employs 140 staff.

It has been reported that senior staff from UK and US will be at the plant today to brief staff.

Let’s hope the rumours are not true and that the Belmullet jobs are not moving to lower cost economies like India- I will keep you posted.
