Description

Construction company, Keating, is creating 100 new jobs, as part of its expansion into overseas markets. The jobs will be in high-end engineering and based at the company's operation in Co Clare. The company CEO has indicated Keating has experienced a boost to its business due to ports around Britain and Ireland gearing up for Brexit. Keating specialises in marine infrastructure construction projects. The company is currently in year two of a five-year business plan, but due to its increased business it is effectively at the year three level already.
