Chelsea Apps Factory To Open Development Centre In Belfast
Chelsea Apps Factory is to open a new technology development centre in Belfast.
The firm, specialists in helping businesses mobilise their workforce by harnessing the power of technology, will open the hub in early 2015 in a central Belfast location. The company will initially build a 33-strong development team, and is now actively recruiting to find specialists in mobile software development and testing.
The firm – which currently employs 70 people across its London and Edinburgh offices – has an ambition to double in size over the next 18 months. It counts household names Ladbrokes, KPMG and Waitrose among its clients.
Alastair Hamilton, Chief Executive of Invest Northern Ireland, said: "Chelsea Apps Factory’s decision to locate its new tech hub in Belfast is indicative of the pulling power that Northern Ireland has for globally-focused IT companies. Belfast is Europe's top destination for software and technical support investment.
"These new high-quality jobs will pay above the Northern Ireland private sector median and will generate almost £1m a year in salaries. As a specialist provider in this rapidly growing niche sector, Chelsea Apps Factory also brings with it a range of skills and experience that will benefit the local IT sector."
Invest NI has offered the company assistance of £264,000 for the new jobs.
