We chose Questum as the administrative base for our company for many reasons but, mainly as it is conveniently located on the outer ring road with cities such as Cork, Dublin, Limerick and Waterford within easy reach. As a Questum resident we avail of free carparking, access to a spacious board room, various meeting rooms and a bright airy communal dining space. The very nature of the acceleration centre means that you never know who you might meet in the corridor, making Questum is the ideal place for networking and sharing ideas!
