Online

Independent.ie, the Group's online portal, supports leading national and regional Irish newspaper titles (including competing regional titles) and is a leading news portal in Ireland.

The launch of globrix.ie, in September 2009, a free-to-list property search engine, delivered an exciting development in the property sector and was well received by estate agents and consumers alike. This 'best in class' platform has already delivered good market penetration in a short period of time.

The Group's online jobs platform, Loadzajobs.ie, performed well in what continues to be a very challenging market.

The Group's dedicated online directory website, YourLocal.ie, further consolidated its position in the market in only its second year since launch (in early 2008) and continues to streamline its offering to deliver an enhanced customer experience.

“Independent News & Media has always understood that beyond being a very successful company in the financial sense, it has broader social responsibilities to all those communities where it operates. This is demonstrated by over 200 projects and charities which the company has underwritten and supported and can be seen from the work that INM has done in education, particularly the work they’ve done in health education in South Africa in relation to HIV and AIDS.”
