HBE To Create 24 New Jobs

Healthy Built Environment (HBE) has announced it is to create 24 new jobs.

The health, safety and compliance consultancy recently expanded into new premises supported by Invest NI.

Invest NI's Director of Advanced Engineering and Construction, Damian McAuley, said: "HBE is a niche business with steadily increasing sales and this move to bigger premises marks an important milestone in the growth of the company.

"The 24 additional technical, administration and management roles created at the business over the past few years have given HBE the boost in resources needed to meet its customer demands.

"The investments HBE has made in marketing, leadership development and technology with Invest NI support have also been valuable in positioning HBE competitively so that it can build on its success."

Invest NI has offered the business £276,000 over the past four years towards its business development activities, including employment grants of over £200,000 to support the creation of 24 new jobs.
