CEO Conor Foley said that the business is investing heavily to drive the next stage of its growth, including plans to double business within the next three years, supported by its investor, leading private equity firm Melior Equity Partners. Melior Equity Partners Fund II is backed by the European Investment Fund, the Irish Strategic Investment Fund, Bank of Ireland and AIB.
