Lahinch-based HRLocker have won the Irish Enterprise Award for “Best HR Software Company 2017′ in a contest sponsored by the Worldwide Business Review magazine.

CEO Adam Coleman, the man behind the #SiliconVillage initiative to encourage other cloud computing start-ups to move to Lahinch for a new way of living and working near the surf and national parks of the stunning Mid West, has led the company through impressive growth.

Now with over 300 customers in over 40 countries worldwide, HRLocker is a beacon for establishing Lahinch as a seaside tech hub.

‘We’re seriously proud of this award and recognition for how a small company can grow past the start-up phase and scale away from the capital and typical tech hotspots’ explained Coleman, whose background is in HR, which gave them an advantage in building the ideal product for busy company owners, office managers or HR professionals to manage their workforce.

‘When we brought HRLocker to Lahinch back in 2013 people quite simply thought we were mad. That or they thought we’d spend more time surfing than working! I think the results speak for themselves – although, in fairness we’ve caught some nice waves along the way too,’ Adam Coleman said.

‘Most of our customers are from 5-500-employee organisations, largely in the UK. But we have a few enterprise-level customers too and are particularly proud of our domestic ‘trophy clients’ with Irish success stories from the likes of Ryanair, Teamwork, Dubarry, HotPress, Brown Bag Films, IBEC, Munster Rugby and so on.

‘We’d like nothing more than to see other businesses relocate to or kick-start their journey here in Lahinch and will always give whatever support we can to those who come here with a dream, as we did,’ he added.
