Rotary Carlow is excited to announce Unum Ireland as Platinum Sponsor of our Remembrance Tree fundraiser in 2024. Unum Ireland is a long term sponsor of our much loved annual tradition that makes a real difference in our community.
We'll soon be announcing our full list of this year's supporters through our social pages and the local press. Meanwhile, let’s hear from our Platinum Sponsor on what it means to them to get behind this special fundraiser.
Unum Ireland | Making a Difference
Unum Technology Centre in Carlow serves as a strategic software development and IT centre supporting UNUM, a leading provider of income protection in the US. Since establishing our offices in Shamrock Plaza at the heart of Carlow town in 2008, we now employ over 300 highly skilled people locally.
Our purpose: helping the working world thrive throughout life's moments and to that end, we’re proud to be listed amongst the top places to work in Ireland, with more recent awards such as:
- 4th Best Medium Workplaces in Ireland and Best Workplace in Tech by Great Places to Work
- 2024 Workplace Wellbeing Award by Carlow Chamber
Giving back is one of our core values and we’re actively involved locally with numerous community organisations including Rotary Carlow, St Clare’s Kitchen, Carlow Tidy Towns to name just a few.
