Why open a second Ireland office?
Original driver for the Limerick office was the industry-wide resourcing challenge
Decided at that stage to build Limerick as a true model of excellence
Market changes have given a broader rationale for the Limerick office

The Limerick Success Story – Local View
Northern Trust is a 30 minute drive from Shannon Airport which provides flights from all over the world.
Colbert Train Station in Limerick provides train services from all over the country.
Our staff in Limerick travel from 7 counties to work at Northern Trust, namely Tipperary, Clare, Cork, Galway, Offaly, Kerry & Limerick.
Limerick was chosen for its central mid-west regional location and its excellent road, rail and air transport infrastructure that ensures the city is well-connected to other major locations within and outside of Ireland.

•Northern Trust has access to a pool of highly qualified business graduates from the University of Limerick and from the Limerick Institute of Technology.
•Of the 141 staff in the Limerick office – 44 are graduates from the University of Limerick & 23 are graduates from the Limerick Institute of Technology.
