Nostra has announced the creation of 100 new jobs, 35 of which will be at a cyber security centre of excellence in Galway.

Located in Ballybrit, the new office will be used to build out a cyber security centre of excellence as well as grow IT support, professional services and project management teams to serve customers in the west of Ireland.

One of the country’s largest and fastest-growing IT services providers, Nostra recently secured valuable investment from Phoenix Equity Partners to help achieve its ambitious growth goals, which would see annual revenues grow from €50 million to €250 million within five years through both strategic acquisitions and organic growth. Nostra has completed three acquisitions this year with a number of other deals in progress, helping to strengthen its overall offering and widen its customer base.

As part of the current expansion, Enterprise Ireland is supporting the recruitment of positions in the Galway base. Leo Clancy, CEO, Enterprise Ireland said: “Enterprise Ireland’s mission is to partner with innovative Irish businesses looking to scale internationally. Nostra is a great example of an Irish internationally traded services company with global ambition, competing and winning sustained business in overseas markets. Enterprise Ireland looks forward to continuing to support Nostra’s growth ambitions as they expand their global footprint, strengthening their customer base internationally and continuing to create jobs here in Galway and across the country.”

Kevin O’Loughlin, Nostra co-founder & CEO, said: “It has been a really exciting year for Nostra, having secured investment and completed a number of key acquisitions. As we prepare to embark on the next step of our journey, we are delighted to unveil our brand new office in Galway.
