VP of West says the future is bright in Waterford

For this week's Hot Desk I spoke to Don O'Callaghan, Vice President of pharmaceutical company West. Don was at the Waterford plant recently.
West, which makes components for injectables, significantly ramped up productivity during the Pandemic. The global corporation currently employs around 300 people in Waterford.
I chatted to Don on The Hot Desk about what the future holds for the company locally. He also discussed why he thinks Waterford is a great place to live and do business.
