    Hi,

    Just a quick question, I'm looking to find out who would be the biggest employers in Sligo apart from Abbott.

    Doing a bit of research on local area for job interview.

    Thanks

    Local authorities and HSE I reckon would be pretty big employers....

    Stiefel, but they're in the process of winding up within 2 years afaik. Bruss employ alot but I don't know the numbers. Connacht Gold employ alot between multiple Co-Op stores, their dairy (Cumeen) and butter manufacturing facility (Achonary). Might be the biggest apart from Abbot.
    That's all I can think of. Sligo did very badly from the Celtic Tiger really. Only big new employer that Sligo got was Toucan/Pipex/Tiscali and they're gone already.

    Gone a while now. At the peak the most that was there would have been 250.
