CORK’S largest private employer, Apple with 6,000+ workers, has been in the hunt for a significant new office presence in the city’s docklands, one capable of holding up to 1,000 staff.
Apple’s search was very active up to March of this year, when Covid-19 hit, offices globally were termporarily abandoned and the Apple search in the city - where it has operated since 1980 - hit the ‘pause’ button.
