GS Verde, headquartered in Cardiff, has opened its first office outside the UK, with the launch of GS Verde (Ireland) in Dublin.
The new office is located in Dublin 2, Dublin’s premier business district, and the company says the move follows customer demand with new and existing customer agreements in the country in sectors including aviation, SaaS and technology.
