Description

Communications company Sattelco Communications has announced the creation of 150 jobs. The UK-based organization unveiled proposals to open a call centre at Achill Island, a remote part of County Mayo in the West of Ireland. It is understood the company has already commenced a recruitment drive. Further, the company envisages eventually expanding its operations to recruit more than the original target of 150.

Sattelco entered the market as a new communications provider in 2012 with the aim of challenging existing competition in the telecoms and broadcasting industry in the UK and Ireland.
