Edenderry-based company continues expansion with significant recruitment drive

A major jobs boost for Offaly was announced this week as Edenderry-headquartered GoSales Solutions revealed plans to create 100 new positions over the next 12 months as part of a significant expansion of its operations.

The company, which currently employs around 60 people, is seeking to recruit across a variety of roles including delivery van drivers, truck drivers, general operatives, field sales personnel and commercial sales staff. The expansion will see the company almost triple its existing workforce.

Founded by entrepreneur James Kelly, GoSales Solutions has grown rapidly from its beginnings in field sales to become a full-service business acquisition and growth company, providing services in lead generation, customer relationship management, data intelligence, digital enablement, website development and field sales. The company now works with clients across Ireland, the UK and Europe.

While the new positions will be located across Ireland, the announcement is particularly significant for Edenderry and Offaly, where the company is headquartered and continues to expand its operations. The company has also confirmed plans to establish a UK office later this year as part of its ongoing growth strategy.

Welcoming the announcement, Offaly TD Tony McCormack described the development as a major vote of confidence in both Edenderry and the wider Midlands region.

"This announcement represents a significant investment in jobs and opportunity. The creation of 100 new positions is excellent news for workers, families and communities throughout Offaly and the Midlands. It demonstrates the strength of our local workforce and the potential for indigenous businesses to grow and compete on a national and international scale."

Mr McCormack also congratulated founder James Kelly and the entire GoSales Solutions team on their success.

"It is particularly encouraging to see a company with its roots in Edenderry continuing to expand and create employment. I wish James, Caroline Kelly and the entire team every success as they continue this impressive growth journey."

The recruitment campaign is expected to commence immediately, with positions becoming available on a phased basis throughout the coming year.
