Waterford based company, Datastore, has just announced 10 new jobs, five now and five in 12 months' time. The company specialises in document storage and data management and the new positions will be in research and development, online backup, warehousing, sales and administration.
The new jobs are in response to increased demand and an innovative service that Datastore is introducing to the market place. An inexpensive solution to document and data storage, the new service is particularly suited to local authorities, large hospitals and other public bodies.
Waterford Chamber is delighted to acknowledge the recent award given to Waterford Regional Hospital.
The hospital recently received the ‘green light’ status for very good performance in the HSE’s unique HealthStat programme. The awards were given in three categories: access to services, patient-centredness and best use of human and financial services.
Despite the numerous recent cutbacks, in particular to budgets and the recruitment of staff, the hospital has managed to work through these difficulties under the direction of Patricia Sullivan, General Manager, and Rob Landers, Clinical Director, and attain ‘green light’ status.
