Adding to four existing International locations, COINS are opening a new Irish office. In recognition of continued successful growth in Ireland and the desire to provide an unparalleled level of service to 14 clients in the area, Barbara White has been appointed as COINS General Manager for Ireland, effective from the 2nd January 2007.

The new office will be based in Dublin and over the coming months Barbara will build a team to provide support services to the rapidly growing number of customers in Northern Ireland and Eire.

‘Locating COINS staff locally will enable us to offer a better service to our Irish customers and will certainly assist us in working more closely with the authorities to better prepare for legislative changes (e.g. Tax and Subcontract), as we do in the UK,’ comments Barbara. ‘I hope and expect the Irish clients will quickly see the benefits of this positive move, and I am looking forward to the new challenge and the opportunity to build on our success,’ adds Barbara.

Supporting Barbara’s comments, Tom Bambrick (Group ICT Manager, Ascon Contractors) said that, ‘I am delighted and see this as a very encouraging move by COINS, one that I expect will be very beneficial to the Irish COINS Client base, particularly in relation to recognising local issues and legislation.’

Barbara joins COINS with over 23 years’ experience in the IT industry, the last 6 of which were spent in the Construction industry in Ireland, working as Group IS&T Manager for a major contractor.
