€5 million investment – Lifes2good to create 50 new jobs

Galway-headquartered Lifes2good is to create 50 new jobs over the next three years, following a €5 million investment by the BDO Development Capital Fund.

The investment will enable Lifes2good further international expansion and will lead to the creation of 50 additional high skilled jobs in its Global Headquarters in Galway and across the group over the next three years.

Founded in 1997 by James Murphy, Lifes2good is a sales, marketing and distribution group of category leading and clinically proven healthcare brands.

He said the investment will help the company grow its US and UK business, support new product and brand development, and position other markets for accelerated growth.

“We have hugely ambitious expansion plans and we are now positioned to implement them”
