Jerry Kennelly (KED Patron)
Jerry Kennelly, Founder & former CEO of Stockbyte and Stockdisc (recently sold to Getty Images for over €110 Million), had this to say about Kerry as a business location:
The Stockbyte and Stockdisc teams found Kerry to be a perfect location to base a business which rose to the highest levels of global success.
Business incubators such as Killarney’s KTI Centre and the Tom Crean Centre Tralee provide excellent facilities for new entrepreneurs.
Kerry Technology Park in Tralee is undoubtedly a facility that ranks alongside the best available globally and was an important part of our positioning as we crafted a world leadership position.
The brands and imagery conceived in Kerry will continue to be an important part of creative workflow globally after the acquisition of our companies by Getty Image (Nasdaq: GYI) in April 2006.
"There is no question that the intellect, tenacity, integrity and immeasurable native cunning that exists in Kerry will serve to build wealth and prosperity in the future".
