In the 7 years since 2001, the company now operates 7 offices in Kerry, Galway, Waterford, Sligo, and Laois and now has added Limerick and Dublin. Jerry O’Sullivan has achieved outstanding success in this time since his entrepreneurial skills formed Caterassist and he has guided the company to being Ireland’s largest independently owned and specialised Hospitality & Food Retail service provider.Commenting on this acquisition Jerry said, "Understanding there is a recession in Ireland and worldwide, it may not make business sense to people looking in, to buy another company especially an Employment Agency. The Hospitality Industry will always be an industry to source professional and highly experienced Managers, Chefs and Catering personnel for all Hospitality sectors. Kay Caball is synonymous with Hospitality & Catering, and I feel she has built up a huge reputation and goodwill’’.
He continued, "We will resume the highly professional services of Kay and her Team offered under Cherry and will amalgamate this with our own successful brand that has excelled in Ireland and internationally. We are not just a Recruitment Agency; we offer an array of Professional Services to the Hospitality, Retail and all Food industries nationwide, in Recruitment, Training, Food Safety, HACCP Implementation, and Consultancy & Auditing. We shall compliment the Cherry clients and candidates, and this will also strengthen our database to over 4,000 clients and many thousands of candidates".
He concluded, "Also, I wish to thank our clients, candidates and my dedicated team, where without their hard work and support we would not be successful today".
