The commercial vehicles division of Mercedes-Benz Ireland is providing support to Sneem Digital Hub - by gifting a new van.

Sneem Digital Hub aim to bring reliable digital infrastructure and quality jobs, to reverse rural depopulation in the area. In doing so, the community hope to add more young people and young families to their close-knit village.
The Sneem Digital Hub management committee are volunteers who have worked to bring the building, which was once a dance hall, to life as a modern, high tech digital hub. The modern, stylish facility, provides high-speed broadband, hot-desking for remote workers, a low-cost base for business start-ups and options for companies seeking to expand remotely. Video conferencing technology and meeting rooms are also available.

Under the initiative announced by Mercedes-Benz, the Sneem Digital facility will be supplied with a new Vito van for their exclusive use for a one-year period.

The new Vito, which is highly branded and instantly recognisable, will provide essential support to managers at the Hub in transporting equipment and distributing materials as required, and as a promotional unit when conveying display materials to events and exhibitions.
“We are delighted to secure the support of Mercedes-Benz,” Aidan Murray, manager at Sneem Digital Hub said. “The use of the Vito van will provide a visual presence and shop window for the Hub as it travels throughout the Kerry and south-west region, and further afield.”
