Retail & hospitality software company CBE is creating 25 new jobs at its international head office in Claremorris, Co Mayo.     

CBE develops and supplies electronic point of sale (EPoS) solutions for the retail and hospitality sectors. Established in 1980 by husband and wife team of Gearoid and Catherine Concannon, CBE has grown to become one of the largest EPoS providers in Europe. Following significant market research with the support of Enterprise Ireland, the company is preparing to build on its presence in the UK and expand into new markets within the Eurozone.

Enterprise Ireland is supporting the recruitment drive and is working with the company on a joint R&D project to integrate a number of software solutions to enhance the company’s product offering.  

Anne Lanigan, divisional manager, technology and services, Enterprise Ireland, said: “Enterprise Ireland has been working with CBE since 1998 and over this time the company has gone from strength-to-strength, growing a strong customer base internationally while continuing to recruit staff at home. Retail is a fast-moving business and the methods of payment at the point of sale are evolving continually.

“CBE is at the forefront of this innovation, developing solutions to meet the ever-changing demands of their customers. Supporting Irish companies with the ambition to scale globally is a key priority for Enterprise Ireland and we look forward to working closely with CBE to optimise their full international growth potential, creating and sustaining jobs here in the West of Ireland.” 

Gearoid Concannon added: “We are experiencing high growth, which is increasing demand across all of our services. Both the retail & hospitality sectors are undergoing a significant transformation, embracing innovative technology. Innovation through continuous research and development has been the cornerstone of our business and it is through this that we have increased our market share in Ireland and significantly grown in our export markets year-on-year.”
