Bruton Welcomes Bentley’s Commitment To Irish Operation

The commitment by a leading company dedicated to providing comprehensive software solutions for sustaining infrastructure to its Irish operation has been welcomed today.

Bentley Systems, Inc., currently employs 110 people at its Shared Services, Sales, and Marketing Centre in its Europe, Middle East, and Africa headquarters.

The new centre was established in Dublin, Ireland, less than 18 months ago and Bentley now plans to add more high-quality jobs at the centre in the coming months.

Commenting on the positive growth of Bentley’s Irish operation, Enterprise Minister Richard Bruton said: “Bentley initially decided to locate this operation in Ireland in late 2009 and in that short period of time has experienced significant growth. Bentley’s continued commitment to its Irish operation and its plan to add more jobs in the coming months are welcome news for Ireland’s services sector.

He added: “Ireland’s ability to attract companies of the calibre of Bentley can be attributed to our talented workforce and successful track record in the services sector. On behalf of the Irish government I wish to offer this dynamic and exciting company every support as it grows its Irish operations into the future.”
