Enterprise Ireland is also working closely with its client companies and regional partners in developing and sustaining businesses in the area, enhancing the business environment, encouraging new start-up companies with strong growth potential and assisting Dublin based companies to locate their business expansions in the BMW region. A good example of this is Century Homes, the innovative manufacturer of timber-frame housing which commenced in Longford two years ago and which has already expanded its advance factory. The company continues to grow, as evidenced by current recruitment advertisements in the local press.
