Dundalk, Louth; Monday 4th July: Managed IT and cyber security firm, Sync IT, has merged with office and business solutions provider, Cusken. The merger supports 22 jobs in the North-East.

Sync IT and Cusken Merge
Dundalk-based Sync IT was founded by Joe Molloy and Allison Cooney in 2013. The company provides managed IT and security services to small-to-medium sized clients in the public and private sector across the North-East. Cusken was founded by Paddy McCusker and John McKenna in 1987, also based in Dundalk. It provides business solutions in the sales and service of photocopiers, printers, audio-visual, retail equipment, and office furniture to SMEs, corporates, education, and public sector not only in the North-East but nationwide.
“This is as much a meeting of both hearts and heads”, said Joe Molloy, who takes up the role of managing director for the newly formed entity. “Sync IT and Cusken have similar cultures, values, and ways of working. That’s the heart. Equally, by combining both company’s core competencies and skill-bases, the new merger is ready to take advantage of emerging consolidations in IT, technology and ‘the workplace of the future’. That’s the head”, added Molloy.
Molloy’s Co-Director, Allison Cooney, is appointed Technical Account Director, while Paddy McCusker is continuing in his responsibilities as Business Development Director across the merging companies.
