Known as 'Gurus' Shopify’s Irish support staff are all remote workers, meaning they can work wherever they want, reported Independent.ie

John Riordan, director of support Ireland at Shopify, said, 'We've seen the benefits of remote culture and how it can be utilised to rejuvenate the West of Ireland and counties like Galway.'

Welcoming the announcement, Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise and Innovation, Frances Fitzgerald said that she was 'very impressed by Shopify's innovative business model whereby the staff are not based in a central office but can work from home.'
