DUBLIN, 18 March 2010 — BNY Mellon, the global leader in asset management and securities servicing, has been recognised as one of the 'Best Workplaces in Ireland' by Great Place to Work Institute Ireland. The 2010 Awards were announced on Wednesday 24th February at The Burlington Hotel, Dublin.

Each year, the Great Place to Work Institute Ireland works with the Irish Independent newspaper to conduct the Best Workplaces in Ireland study. More than 100 organisations with a combined workforce of over 50,000 took part in the study, widely recognised as Ireland's largest annual labour force survey. The research sets out to identify and recognise the most trusted employers, and therefore the most satisfied workforces in Ireland.

"This honour is based on the opinions of people who are in the best position to judge — our employees," said Joe Duffy, Country Executive for Ireland at BNY Mellon. "It is our exceptional team that delivers the high quality service we are known for, so it is good to know that they value the culture here and the programmes we have put in place to make this a great place to work."

BNY Mellon opened its first office in Ireland in 1994. Since then, the services provided by the business have become core to the securities servicing business of BNY Mellon, with Ireland evolving as a major centre for the company's offshore fund business. It currently has over 1,200 employees in Ireland, located in Dublin and Cork.
