There’s now 600 workers in the tech sector in offices on the South Mall, once the heartland of the most traditional arms of commerce, from banking to auctioneering, and from finance to insurance. Atlanta Georgia-based Click Dimensions this week has started to occupy revamped offices at No 10 South Mall, a red-brick period office building vacated in 2008 by Standard Life Assurance, who had relocated to Lapps Quay. Number 10, South Mall, Cork City. Their arrival follows on after Eventbrite moved to Cork’s South Mall in summer 2016, initially taking 2,500 sq ft at 89/90 South Mall, and subsequently moving to the iconic former iconic AIB bank building at 97 South Mall, where Eventbrite employ 55, set to grow to 100, according to sources. Employment among that IT cluster tops 600 after Click Dimensions’ fresh arrival, with further jobs on the way to boost footfall, and spending power, in the heart of the ‘old’ city.
