Multi-national Industries

Since its formation in 1976, Kenny-Whelan has expanded its recruitment activities in parallel with the development of the multi-national pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries. These industries began to be established in earnest in Ireland with the opening of
IDA flagship Pfizer bulk pharmaceutical plant in Ringaskiddy in 1970.

In February 2006 Kenny-Whelan was taken over by the Irish owned Newcourt Group plc which is listed on the London and Dublin stock markets. Newcourt Group Plc operates in the recruitment, security and property sectors.  The Group has 12 specialist companies in its recruitment division which covers all areas of recruitment and has offices in Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia as well as Dublin, Cork and Galway.
