Netwatch Group to hire 30 new staff in Carlow and Newry
Security company Netwatch – which was founded by Irishmen David Walsh and Niall Kelly – is planning to take on 30 new staff at its Carlow and Newry hubs.
The company is expanding in Australia, New Zealand, and in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, by replicating a new dealer model which is already proving successful in the US.
In 2018, Netwatch – which was founded in Carlow – merged with rival operators, NMC and CalAtlantic and also merged with UK company Onwatch, with the deals financed by the Riverside private equity group.
The company is already using AI to efficiently identify intruders at client properties, and Netwatch Group CEO Kurt Takahashi said recently that an innovation team in Carlow were working on latest technological developments.
He also said the company was working closely with Enterprise Ireland to find partners in international markets and that the US model would now be replicated in other countries to allow the company to expand more rapidly.
It’s definitely more scaleable to work with organisations which are already present in those countries.
As a result we are going to aggressively expand our business in Carlow for monitoring operations, as well as in Newry.
