Dublin-based specialist student lender announces a further 50 new jobs

Future Finance, the Dublin-based specialist student lender, today announced its intention to create a further 50 new jobs over two years, in addition to the 48 staff it currently employs, as it expands its business across Europe and Ireland.

After launching in the UK last year, expanding into Europe is the reason behind the latest job drive.

“We are very excited to continue the amazing growth our business has experienced over the past year, and delighted that we chose Dublin as the headquarters for our operation. We have benefitted significantly from the excellent business environment and the quality of employees we’ve been able to hire in Dublin.”
