Local man's business idea to go nationwide

Kilcullen based businessman Trevor Hull has launched a new website offering news, information and competitions about County Kildare.

And he plans to provide 40 jobs with his idea as he rolls the equivalent of kildareataclick.ie across a number of other counties in coming months.

Trevor's company At a Click Ltd is set to have tailored web portals in every county across the nation by the end of the year.

The company is a major sponsor of the Kildare Hurlers, and plans to begin recruiting sales personnel in every county in Ireland, along with administrative and marketing staff, creating over 40 new jobs throughout Ireland.



"When the other portals come online, users will be able to plan their trip to anywhere in Ireland and be assured of knowing all about wherever they’re going," says Trevor, who worked for six and a half years with Kfm Radio in Kildare.

He said he got the idea because he was so regularly being told by friends, neighbours, clients and acquaintances that they wanted one place to look for events in Kildare. "Whether planning a range of activities for the weekend or just something to do for a couple of hours, most people were fed up of finding out about an event on the day, or when it was over!”
