Hertz Expansion To Create Jobs

Car rental giant, Hertz is to expand its European Shared Services Centre in Dublin with the creation of up to 100 new jobs.

The increased capacity of the Shared Services Centre will see the transformation of the company’s existing Dublin operations to include support elements in the areas of human resources, finance, sales and customer care, in addition to handling customer reservations and other support services activity for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

The investment is supported by the Irish Government through IDA Ireland.

Making the announcement, Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Mary Coughlan said: "Hertz has successfully operated a European Shared Services Centre from Dublin for over 10 years and the transformation of this facility with the creation of 100 high value new jobs is a welcome step. This expansion will enable the Hertz team in Swords to focus on further enhancing its strategic partners with the business units across EMEA and to grow the operation’s reputation as a centre of excellence for customer care within the group."

She continued: "A high-value transformation of this nature is characteristic of the Government’s 'Smart Economy' Strategy and I look forward to working closely with Hertz as it continues to develop and expand its presence in Ireland."

Andrew Varley, Vice President of Hertz Europe Service Centre, added: "I am delighted with this announcement and mandate expansion at Hertz in Dublin (Swords). The new jobs created by these functions will bring total employment in Swords to over 930 jobs."
