In line with its expansion plans and its strategy to set up subsidiaries in strategic markets, 6PM Holdings plc has opened an office in Limerick, Ireland.

6PM Health Solutions (Ireland) Ltd has been set up through a joint venture between 6PM Holdings and Anthony O’Carroll.

Mr O’Carroll, who will be the new company’s managing director, owns 30 per cent of the equity in this new joint venture and has over 25 years industry experience working with hospitals in Ireland.

Mr O’Carroll previously owned Medrex Systems (Ireland) Ltd, a local medical records supply company, and 6PM Ireland will be inheriting all of the business activity that was previously delivered by Medrex Systems.

“We could not have hoped for a better business partner. The business experience brought in to 6PM Ireland by Anthony and his team is priceless. This is a great business opportunity since 6PM Ireland will not be starting from nothing. On the contrary, all the previous Medrex business has now been shifted to the newly set-up joint venture. This collaboration will give us a rapid start to our growth internationally,” Ivan Bartolo, CEO of the 6PM Group said.

6PM Ireland currently employs 13 people with future employment growth expected. The key business activities are document management services, microfilming, scanning, off site storage and resale of equipment associated with the above and consultancy.

These services will be complemented with the marketing and selling of other 6PM products.
