An insurance and investment broker based in Rathcoole in Dublin has announced plans to grow its staff numbers over the next year.

Clear Financial currently employs 20 people, but a recruitment drive is now underway to fill an extra 15 positions in Dublin and nationwide.

The firm says they will fill financial advisor and technical roles immediately.

Michael Bradley, Managing Director and founder of the company, said, "Ireland boasts such a strong labour force – my experience to date has been that we have a country full of well-rounded and well-educated individuals, so I am confident that over the next 12months we’ll add 15 more talented people to the Clear Financial team".
