DV8 To Bring 25 Jobs

Some twenty five jobs will be created in Clonmel with the arrival of a major British fashion retail store later this month.

Retailer DV8, with a network of 30 stores in the UK, is set to open its first Irish branch in Clonmel’s town centre at the end of October. The 5,000-square feet outlet is due to open at the Ormonde Centre on Gladstone Street. DV8 sells over 40 leading fashion clothing brands as well as footwear and accessories in its stores and online at www.dv8fashion.com

Neville McDowell from DV8 said he was delighted to be opening a new store in Clonmel "and are very excited by the opportunity to do business in the town, which has a great reputation as a vibrant shopping destination".

The company hopes to complement existing retail operators in the area, he said, "with our unique range of male and female clothing and footwear".

According to Mr McDowell, Irish shoppers will "enjoy" the DV8 experience, "with a first-class offering of fashion brands and excellent customer service". The company will be advertising for staff in the coming weeks.
