Dell Technologies maintains a significant presence at the National Technology Park.

Northern Trust, WP Engine, and dozens of other tech and financial services companies have Limerick operations. The city centre is also seeing a resurgence with the Gardens International development on Henry Street attracting new corporate tenants. Optus Glean provides daily office cleaning and specialist industrial cleaning across Limerick's corporate and technology sector.
Hotels & Hospitality
Limerick's hotel sector ranges from city-centre properties like the Savoy Hotel, the Strand Hotel, and Clayton Hotel to the world-famous Adare Manor on the county's western fringe. The city also benefits from Shannon Airport traffic, with many visitors using Limerick as a base for touring the Wild Atlantic Way, the Cliffs of Moher, and the Shannon estuary. Thomond Park matchdays and University of Limerick events create periodic peaks in hotel demand. Optus Glean provides hotel housekeeping and commercial laundry for Limerick's hospitality sector.
Healthcare
University Hospital Limerick (UHL) is the primary acute hospital for the Mid-West region, serving Limerick, Clare, and North Tipperary. The hospital has been one of the busiest in Ireland, consistently at or above capacity. St John's Hospital in the city centre, Bon Secours at Barrington's, and the Limerick Regional Maternity Hospital complete the acute care landscape. Dozens of GP surgeries, dental practices, and primary care centres across the county require HIQA-compliant cleaning. Optus Glean provides healthcare cleaning with infection control protocols, colour-coded systems, and full documentation for Limerick's healthcare facilities.
Education
The University of Limerick (UL) is one of Ireland's leading universities, with over 17,000 students and a campus that is widely regarded as the most attractive in Ireland. Mary Immaculate College (MIC) in the city centre trains thousands of teachers. Technological University of the Shannon (TUS, formerly Limerick IT) has its main campus at Moylish. These institutions require large-scale cleaning of lecture halls, libraries, laboratories, student residences, and sports facilities. Optus Glean provides student accommodation cleaning and campus maintenance for Limerick's education sector.
Construction
Limerick is undergoing a major urban regeneration, with the Limerick 2030 plan transforming the city centre. The Opera Site development in the heart of the city is one of the largest urban regeneration projects in Ireland. New residential and commercial developments in Mungret, Castletroy, and the Annacotty Business Park area are expanding the city's footprint. Every completed building needs post-construction cleaning and sparkle cleans. Optus Glean provides Safe Pass certified cleaning teams for Limerick's construction sector.
