Galway Sports outfit to double workforce

At a time when business and industries are struggling due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Galway-based sports company Clubforce is set to double its workforce by creating 20 new jobs following a €2.5 million private equity investment in the business.

The company, which operates an online system enabling sports clubs and bodies to efficiently manage data, communications and funds, will employ the new staff between its Galway and UK offices.

The new investment comes as the Galway company finished 2020 strongly with unprecedented demand for new and better technological solutions from sports club volunteers in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Founder and CEO of Clubforce Warren Healy says organisations were already feeling a certain level of strain before the pandemic struck, adding: “Grassroots sports relies heavily on volunteers, who tend to be time-poor, and the pandemic has made the role far more challenging.

“Our plan is to provide these volunteers with a significant number of additional tools to simply make their roles easier. We know that volunteer tasks are an increasing challenge and we’re helping sports clubs to solve these challenges. The volunteers are the fulcrum around which everything else rotates in amateur sports.”
