Ireland’s TASK Community Care launches TASK Connect in Northern Ireland for the UK market

November 30, 2023 | by

TASK Community Care, which was the first personal alarm and telecare company serving Ireland starting (an unbelievable) 45 years ago, has opened a fully-owned UK subsidiary, TASK Connect. It will be located in Lurgan, Northern Ireland. TASK Connect will provide 24/7 alarm services along with GPS location tracking with fall detection devices and monitoring. These can be ordered online, streamlining customer service and user implementation.

TASK Connect recently won a competitive tender with one of Northern Ireland’s eleven councils. The new Lurgan operation will also serve as a base for TASK’s expansion in the rest of the UK. 

Toni Bunting, TASK Connect’s managing director, stated “Our online product range will steadily expand as we solidify our presence in the UK market. Concurrently, our core focus is on refining operations, honed through years of dedicated service to TASK Community Care customers, ensuring an even more streamlined and customer-centric service for all our customers in the UK.” TASK Connect release
