John, formerly of

hopes to bring a little of a cosmopolitan feel to
Citywest Business Campus.
Yet again we reach the end of another
year and face into the winter months
after a particularly good summer. Here
on campus during 2003 we have built
on the sense of community by hosting
a number of events such as the barbeques
in the summer. By all accounts, these
were enjoyed by all who attended and
we hope to hold further events next
year.
We have also brought some culture to
Citywest by hosting the first ever art

art exhibition
Smart Telecom has established its new
corporate headquarters at 3300 Lake Drive.
Awarded a general telecommunications
licence in 2000 Smart Telecom has rapidly
grown in the intervening years. 2002 saw
Smart Telecom acquire Switchcom, originally
based here on the campus, and ITG Payphones with offices at Sandyford Industrial
Estate, followed early this year with the acquisition of the payphone division from EsatBT.
All of these divisions are now based here in
Citywest at the new headquarters.

telecommunications companies, Smart Telecom provides telephony to the business and
residential communities. Smart Telecom is
Ireland’s second largest provider of
payphones and Ireland’s leading provider of pre-paid call cards.
Smart Telecom currently employs over 150 people and has recently opened a state of the art Call Centre to support
its expanding residential customer base.

Bank of Ireland, as part of an ever expanding group, has opened a new office in Citywest Business Campus. Located in the Premier Business Centre, 3013 Lake Drive (opp. Spar), it is hoped that both customers and non-customers
will be provided with a convenient and accessible banking service.
As a sign of the times and a progression into the future the banks are now coming to you instead of you having to
travel to them. In light of the lack of time available to queue and search for parking, Bank of Ireland in their wisdom,
thought it would be an ideal situation if you could bank while you worked and never have to worry about queues
again.
The aim is to offer a full range of banking services in a convenient location; at present all services are offered from
opening your first account to mortgage advice and applications.
Your local Relationship Manager is Lorraine Kilcoyne. Lorraine is well aware that time is a precious commodity and
therefore makes herself available to deal with any banking queries at a time that suits you.
Bank of Ireland hope that their presence here will benefit all those who work on campus and that you will find them
to be a valuable service that you will use time and time again.
Lorraine can be contacted by phone on (086)3803276 or email [email protected]

Welcome to the following companies
which have moved to Citywest recently
•
•
•
•
Rockwool have moved into Growcorp, 3015 Lake Drive.
Landesk Software Ltd, Orbital Skid and Ouncel have all moved into Premier Business
Centre, 3013 Lake Drive.
Beaver Distribution have recently moved into a purpose built facility in Magna Business Park.
Executive Edge have relocated from 2056 Citywest Road to 2017 Orchard Avenue.
Thanks to all who
supported the art
exhibition held recently
in The Link Café,
Riverwalk. It was quite a
successful event and a
number of purchases
were made.
Off The Wall organised and ran the event with both
paintings and sculpture by sixteen well-known and
up-and-coming artists exhibited. It competed with a
number of exhibitions in more traditional locations in the city, but was generally regarded by those
in the know as a very good exhibition and was certainly a first for a business park in Ireland.
This was the first time we have hosted such an event and based on the level of support received,
we hope to hold other similar events in the future.
