Accountancy firm PwC has announced it is moving its Galway offices to the city’s new One Galway Central campus, creating 40 new jobs.

In total PwC will employ 70 members of staff at the new offices, with recruitment already underway for new roles which it expects to fill with in the next two years.

TD Enda Kenny, said: “Galway and the west are very important for Ireland’s continued economic growth and job opportunities. It is great to see organisations such as PwC helping drive this success.

Feargal O’Rourke, PwC Ireland managing partner, added: “Our move to One Galway Central demonstrates our belief in the Galway market and our firm’s commitment to further invest in the region. It is a very important development for PwC which enables us to grow, provide value to our clients, and develop and retain key talent.

Ken Johnson, senior partner and assurance leader at PwC Galway, said: “This is a strategic relocation for our clients and our people. Ireland’s continued robust economic performance is driving growth in the west, despite external uncertainties such as Brexit. We see significant opportunities for PwC to support indigenous and FDI businesses as they exploit this growth potential.”
