Powerful talent for renewable energy revolution
Trailstone provides risk management, asset optimisation and energy trading services to owners of renewable energy assets. This expansion will allow Trailstone to tap into Irish tech talent to further support Trailstone’s software applications which optimise the delivery of renewable energy and increase revenues in energy markets.
Sligo will be Trailstone’s seventh and newest office location, with other offices located in the US, UK and Germany.
“We are proud to open our seventh office in Sligo, Ireland,” said John Redpath, CEO of Trailstone.
“With the Irish government’s robust support of renewable energy and the proximity to top technical universities, Sligo is a perfect place for us to expand and further our mission of making sustainable energy sustainable.”
Trailstone’s expansion into Ireland is supported by the Irish Government through IDA Ireland.
“I’m really glad Trailstone Group has chosen Sligo as the location for its newest office, creating 20 jobs over the next three years,” said Leo Varadkar, Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise Trade & Employment. “These are very specialised roles and great opportunities for Atlantic TU graduates and others in the area.”
Trailstone’s office will be located within the Sligo Innovation Centre, which is home to 20 innovative companies and start-ups partnered with IDA Ireland.
Trailstone’s Technology Team will be the first group of employees to work out of the Sligo office, with the potential for other teams to be added over time.
“Trailstone is a welcome addition to Ireland’s emerging sustainability software and services cluster and its decision to locate in Sligo, speaks to the presence of a strong talent pool in the North West region,” said Eileen Sharpe, Global Head of Engineering, Green Economy, Growth Markets, Asia Pacific.
“I wish to thank Trailstone for choosing Sligo as its seventh location worldwide and wish the team every success with this expansion.”
