A Northern Ireland healthcare-to-renewables business has pledged to create 300 jobs on the island of Ireland over the next five years.
Tarasis Enterprises said the move is part of a £10 million investment as it reorganises its structure and scales up for future growth.
The business, which is around 28 years old, was founded by Mairead Mackle MBE and is split in to four divisions covering healthcare, support services, housing and renewables. It provides domiciliary care to over 60,000 people, provides crisis beds for 3,500 people every night and has a social-work led team who sustain tenancies and work with people experiencing addition and mental health issues. It also has a renewables division which which uses biomass to produce energy.
Founder and CEO of Tarasis Enterprises, Mairead Mackle MBE, said the restructure has also resulted in a rebrand.
“Following a strategic review of our operations, we decided to streamline, consolidate and renew our key business divisions under the Tarasis Enterprises brand which unifies our experience and allows our compelling offer to stand out as part of our exciting growth ambitions,” she said. “With new goals and investment, Tarasis Enterprises is perfectly placed to continue building real value for its growing client base and for its dedicated teams which deliver on our mission to provide innovative solutions, whilst also building on our established partnerships across the island of Ireland.”
The business has offices in Belfast, Dublin, Sligo and Armagh and said it has invested more than £10 million in the housing and renewables sector in recent years. In 2021, Tarasis Enterprises generated revenues of more than £30 million across its island-wide operations, up from £26 million in the previous year.
Ms Mackle said the focus will remain on tackling societal need.
“With new investment, new jobs and new approaches, we plan to make a real and positive impact on the many pertinent social issues and crisis of our time which include housing, social care and climate change.”
