Blue Insurance is to create 100 new jobs over the next 18 to 24 months as it seeks to expand its personal lines products and into more international markets.

The company said it will be employing staff across numerous departments including call centre customer services, IT development, junior management, and administrative levels in its Dublin office.

The expansion, which will involve employment numbers increase from 45 to 145, has been supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation through Enterprise Ireland.

Formed in October 2003, the company has 160,000 existing Irish customers and over 200,000 UK customers across its 14 brands, including Multitrip.com, gadgetinsurance.com, carhireexcess.com and petinsurance.ie.

The company recently launched a two-year car and home insurance product that it said is “unique and exclusive” and will transform the car and home insurance market in Ireland. The company also specialises in niche insurance products such as travel, gadget, pet, wedding, breakdown, bicycle and car hire excess insurance.

“These new jobs will help our existing business, our new unique personal lines products and will drive further international expansion in the UK, Australian, UAE and US markets,” said Ciaran Mulligan, the company’s managing director.
