Climb Channel Solutions Ireland, the specialist technology distributor formerly known as DataSolutions, today announces that it has opened a new HQ in Dublin.
This new office will support the wider group’s plans for Europe and Ireland, with the distributor eyeing up expansion into new markets and considering further acquisitions. As well as Europe, the group is also looking to build a presence in Asia-Pacific (APAC) further down the line.
Located in the South County Business Park beside Leopardstown Racecourse, the newly renovated Dublin HQ is equipped with contemporary fittings and allows for potential future team growth. It will also be used for partner and vendor events including launches, workshops and training sessions.

Speaking of launches, the distributor is also announcing The Skyward Project: Climb’s AI Partner Programme, an initiative to help partners capitalise on the opportunities associated with Artificial Intelligence (AI). This six-step framework supports partners with AI enablement, collaboration, and real-world impact – from education and training to use case identification and go-to-market execution.
This programme will also include the introduction of the Climb AI Academy to the Irish and UK markets. This training initiative, already rolled out in Germany, will help partners to gain a foothold in the booming market and will be facilitated at the new office for partners in Ireland.
To further support The Skyward Project and Climb AI Academy, Climb Channel Solutions Ireland will continue to identify and implement new and emerging solutions for the Irish market. This includes adding to its AI portfolio with vendors such as Unframe AI, VAST, GigIO, Microsoft, HCL Software, and Canonical.
Alongside AI, Climb Channel Solutions Ireland has recently restructured its solution areas to include Cybersecurity, Cloud, Modern Workplace, Data Management, Software and Lifecycle Management.
Across these areas, Climb Channel Solutions Ireland will host several partner events throughout 2025 to explore the latest technologies, challenges, trends and opportunities in the Irish market. For instance, it will be hosting a series of virtual ‘Vendor Den’ events to help introduce and launch emerging technology vendors in Ireland.
The office move and Climb AI Academy launch follow on from a strong first quarter for Climb Global Solutions. Compared to the first quarter of the previous year, the company increased its gross billings by 34% to $474.6M and its gross profit by 37% to $23.4M in the first quarter of 2025. This builds on its record-breaking financial results for 2024 during which, compared to 2023, saw a 32% increase in net sales to $465.6 million and a 51% increase in net income to $18.6 million.
Brian Davis, VP of Sales UK & Ireland, Climb Channel Solutions, said: “For the group as a whole, 2024 was a standout year in terms of growth. It also marked a new chapter for the business in Ireland with the official rebrand to Climb Channel Solutions Ireland. Moving forward, we want to build on this and support vendors and partners as they navigate an ever-evolving market landscape. Our new HQ in Dublin and The Skyward Project, including the Climb AI Academy, all tie in with our aim to realise the immense potential of and innovate with emerging technologies.
“After all, that is ‘The Climb Way’ – an ethos which will underpin everything we do this year and beyond. It’s about demonstrating our commitment to data-driven distribution, prioritising speed to market, and putting people and partners first. It’s about leveraging new solutions, empowering resellers, and staying ahead of the curve.”
Emer Higgins TD, Minister of State for the Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform with responsibilities for public procurement, digitalisation and eGovernment, added: “The opening of this Dublin HQ not only signifies a new chapter for Climb Channel Solutions Ireland, but serves as the perfect example of a business which operates in an ever-changing industry. In keeping with the fast-evolving tech landscape, the team is embracing emerging technologies and building on its proven experience while also adapting its expertise and creating even more opportunities.”
