UCD’s 30,000 students will have a healthy option for lunch as a new Chopped outlet opened on campus.
Chopped’s new store will create 15 jobs and follows newly opened outlets in Dundrum Town Centre, The Loop at Dublin Airport and The Whitewater Shopping Centre, Newbridge.
The new Chopped outlet will be managed by Aramark, the global provider of award-winning services in food, facilities management and property, who entered a five-year strategic partnership with Chopped in 2016.
Brian Lee, co-founder and managing director of Chopped said: “We’re delighted to be opening our newest Chopped at UCD.
“Ireland’s students are becoming more and more mindful of their nutrition and with UCD boasting some of the best young minds in the country we are pleased to be able to offer Chopped as a healthy nutritious option.”
Meanwhile, a further 80 jobs have come to Herbert Lane in Dublin 2 as Deadline Couriers opened their new headquarters in the capital.
The Irish transport and delivery company has expanded their business that will lead to the creation of the new jobs over the next two years in their Dublin headquarters.
The expansion will bring the company’s Irish workforce from 35 to over 120 by 2019.
While Deadline has set a two-year period for the creation of these jobs, the company is already hiring and expects to have all 80 roles filled by the summer of 2018.
Speaking about the announcement, Stephen McCann, CEO of Deadline Couriers, said: “We are delighted to be able to announce the creation of 80 new full-time positions in Dublin.”
