Company News

As the Covid 19 government guidelines and restrictions have eased following the announcement from the Taoiseach on the 21st January, the team at SoftTrace are more than happy about the return to office. The team will operate on a phased return to work program and by the end of February will see an end to the program with full attendance in the office. Returning to the office in a safe manner will hope to see a boost in morale for employees and an overall great was to start the year.

Customer Spotlight

The SoftTrace team would like to congratulate North Cork Creameries, a long term and valued customer, on the launch of their new brand of butter ‘Ór Real Irish Butter’. The new butter is made of the highest quality milk, produced from local certified grass fed cows. Ór Real Irish Butter can be found nationwide in Super Value stores.
