It is easy to assume in these difficult and negative times that the world of business has stopped. We can report that this is not the case and La Salle Corporate have had the pleasure of overseeing the management buyout of Fairmont Recruitment Limited for an undisclosed sum during the lockdown.  

Fairmont Recruitment was established in 2018 by Jack Donohue, with the backing of our Chairman, Paul O’Reilly. 


Acting as Managing Director, Jack has built Fairmont Recruitment into a successful IT & technology recruitment agency with a well-established client base of blue-chip companies.  


Paul O’Reilly said, 


“I am pleased for Jack and the success he has created. As an Investor, I feel my role is now fulfilled and with what is happening around us, I feel it is time for me to re-evaluate my own life and future. I wish Jack all the future success he deserves”. 


Jack Donohue commented; 


“Without Paul’s foresight and unique innovative approach, Fairmont Recruitment would not be the success that it is today. 


Although we are amidst challenging times, Fairmont has a solid foundation and a core of blue-chip clients with whom, remotely, we have continued to work with closely over recent weeks. We look forward to continuing to fulfil their requirements. I am sure whatever Paul’s future; it will no doubt involve reducing his golf handicap and I equally wish him well”. 


La Salle Corporate have adjusted to the government restrictions and continue to advise our clients. 


Our message is we are very much open for business.
