JOBS CREATED IN KEMPSEY

17 new jobs have been created in Kempsey after business O’Donnell and Hanlon was awarded a major contract for social housing maintenance across the North Coast and New England.

“That increases our employment here and it also fits with the re-emergence of Kempsey here as a great place to do business not only as a private enterprise but also for the Government, Mayor Liz Campbell said.

It’s hoped the local service will also improve the standard of social housing available across the region.
