192 Jobs Announced At Fujitsu, L'Derry
192 jobs are to be created at Fujitsu’s Business Services Centre at Timber Quay in L'Derry.
The jobs, including 177 full-time permanent positions and 15 business apprenticeships, are being supported by funding from Invest NI of over £990,000.
The move follows a visit to Japan by the First and deputy First Minister this month.
Peter Robinson said: "I met with President Masami Yamamoto of Fujitsu Limited during a business mission to Japan last week and discussed the final details of this project. I reinforced Northern Ireland’s commitment to supporting Fujitsu’s continued growth and I have no doubt that this further investment will undoubtedly promote and strengthen Northern Ireland’s ability to attract other inward investment projects in the business services sector."
Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster said: "Following on from Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s visit for the G8 Summit in June, senior representatives of the company attended the Investment Conference in October, where plans for this expansion were discussed.
"Timber Quay was chosen by Fujitsu over a number of other European locations. The company’s decision to create 192 new jobs in Londonderry is proof that events like G8 and the Investment Conference are delivering for the whole of Northern Ireland."
The jobs will include a range of critical business support roles including administration, financial, procurement and human resources, as well as a range of technical and software support roles.
Greg McDaid, Client Managing Director, Northern Ireland at Fujitsu UK & Ireland said: "When considering where to locate this Business Services Centre Fujitsu carried out a detailed assessment of a number of potential locations. Our centre at Timber Quay was selected as the best location based on the availability of a highly skilled and motivated workforce and the excellent advanced telecommunication infrastructure. These qualities, coupled with the support offered by Invest NI meant the decision was taken to locate this new centre in Londonderry."
