Two Dublin firms have secured business deals during an Enterprise Ireland trade mission to South Africa this week.
Recruitment firm SAON Group has taken over a South African website that advertises 15,000 jobs each month with plans to revamp the business. SAON will open its new offices during Ireland's trade mission.
SAON employs 30 people and operates recruitment sites in Ireland, the United States and Canada.
Swords-based software company In1 Solutions expects to see its business grow in the provision of accommodation during the 2010 soccer World Cup.
The company provides software for hotels, motels and bed and breakfasts, and it has 2,500 customers globally that are served from its Dublin base.
The firm will open new offices in Port Elizabeth during the trade mission.
