Metaverse Mod Squad To Create 100 New Posts

Metaverse Mod Squad, providers of managed digital engagement services, has announced it is to create 100 new jobs.

The US-owned firm is to establish a new centre at the City Factory in L'Derry.

Enterprise, Trade and Investment Minister Jonathan Bell said: "Metaverse is an innovative and dynamic company operating in a fast growth sector and I welcome its decision to choose Northern Ireland as the location for its new European operations centre.

"This is a good news story for Londonderry as the 100 new jobs will offer employment to a wide range of people, from those with technical and marketing experience to new graduates. Metaverse prides itself on providing a flexible working environment where employees will have opportunities to work on projects they are passionate about and have many opportunities for internal career progression.

"Invest Northern Ireland has offered the company support of £250,000, to help with initial business priorities, including creating new jobs. This support, along with the quality pool of talent available here, helped Northern Ireland secure these new jobs against competition from the Republic of Ireland."

Amy Ryan Pritchard, founder and CEO of Metaverse Mod Squad, said: "Digital engagement is critical to a company’s success and it’s an area that is set to grow significantly over the next few years. While we have been successfully operating in Europe with our distributed network of Mods since 2008, our clients and prospects want us to have an even larger and more involved presence; Derry is the first and essential step in this plan. With a talented and skilled workforce, a vibrant tech community and a supportive business environment, Derry is the right choice for Metaverse."
