Osborne is proudly celebrating 10 years in Drogheda, having first opened in Bryanstown, Drogheda in 2015. Since then, the office has become a cornerstone of recruitment and talent solutions in the North-East, supporting local businesses and empowering candidates to thrive in their careers.

Since opening in 2015, the Drogheda office has worked with over 600 clients and registered over 8,000 local candidates across the region. What began as a team of six in 2015 has now grown to over 20 Osbornites spanning over various internal departments of recruitment, commercial development, finance and marketing all supported by the wider Osborne network across our 11 offices both nationally in Ireland and internationally in North America.

Osborne Drogheda’s growth has been underpinned by its unwavering focus on quality, client satisfaction and deep market expertise. Beyond recruitment, the team has actively contributed to the local community by hosting career-readiness workshops in schools, collaborating with regional business groups, and supporting mental health and wellbeing initiatives.

“People are the real story,” said Shóna McManus, Osborne CEO/Owner. “The last decade of success would not have been possible without the incredible passion and commitment of our Drogheda recruitment team and that of our clients and candidates in the North-East region. The team’s dedication to recruitment excellence has transformed careers, supported local employers, drove business growth & sustainability and strengthened the fabric of the North-East. Looking ahead in Drogheda, Osborne is committed to further growth and investment in the region, delivering talent and recruitment solutions for businesses and supporting jobs and people’s careers locally. As a local to Drogheda raising her family, I understand the importance of getting involved with the local community and we want to continue to contribute to the community in a positive way.”

To mark the milestone, Osborne hosted a special event at its Drogheda office, joined by Drogheda Lord Mayor Michelle Hall, Drogheda & District Chamber CEO Hubert Murphy, and The Mill Enterprise Centre CEO Ronan Whitty.

Speaking on the morning, Mayor Hall commented “It is incredible to see the growth and development of the Osborne Drogheda office in the past 10 years spearheaded by Shóna supporting the local region.”.  Hubert Murphy, Drogheda & District Chamber CEO, added “It is refreshing to see an organisation show consistent growth in the region while showing nationwide and international development.”.
