TEN businesses are creating 100 new jobs in the North West.
With the support of Invest Northern Ireland, Mechanical Installations & Maintenance, Meritcom, Precision Group, Retail Systems Technology Limited, Junk Kouture, Click Energy, Gradon Architecture and FAST Technologies have each been working on growth projects.
Two GB-based software businesses, Launch Pad and Peoplesafe, are also establishing offices in the city and plan to create a total of 16 new jobs over the next 12 months.
The 100 new jobs being created span a range of roles and industries including software development, engineering, marketing and finance, and once in place are expected to contribute over £2.5million in additional salaries to the local economy.
Economy Minister, Simon Hamilton said: “Invest Northern Ireland has offered £578,400 to support the growth of these businesses who are committing to both their future and the sustained economic growth of the local area.
“Every business plays a role in our economic success and strengthening and growing Northern Ireland’s private sector requires all stakeholders to work in partnership towards the achievement of a common goal. I welcome the joined-up approach to economic development in the North West.”
