Celebrating 20 Years of Success

The 26th of February 2017 is a special day for CareWorks as it marks our 20 year anniversary. 20 years is a long time to be in business and those 20 years have meant a lot of success and growth for us. Our staff numbers have grown, our customer numbers have grown, we have grown the company to now operate in Ireland, the UK and the US.

We want to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to all our staff and to all our customers. You have allowed us to develop into the company that we are today. We feel privileged to be in a positon to provide technology solutions to our customers that help change people’s lives.

We are delighted to be celebrating 20 years in business and we are looking forward to the future where we will continue to deliver the best products and services through the best teams and technology.

We thought that this would be a great opportunity to look back at the year 1997 when we started to see what else was happening around the world

1997 was a great year! The Spice Girls were taking over the world with Girl Power and Titanic was the box office movie of the year…the same cannot be said for Batman and Robin (not even George Clooney could save that!).
