Grant Thornton To Create New Jobs In NI
Grant Thornton is to create a further 48 new jobs in a £4 million investment in its Northern Ireland operation.
Des Gartland, Executive Director of Regional Business, Invest Northern Ireland said: "Grant Thornton is one of the world's leading assurance, tax and advisory firms. This latest investment in the Northern Ireland operation is to establish new consultancy activities in Belfast, with the average salaries above the private sector median.
"The new jobs will not only help to develop the talent pool in Northern Ireland but will provide a substantial addition in annual salaries to the Northern Ireland economy including very attractive roles for Managers, Directors and graduates.
"This was a mobile project with high-value jobs that could have been located elsewhere so we are pleased that our support was able to help secure the investment for Northern Ireland.
"The new jobs will not only help to develop the talent pool in Northern Ireland but will provide a substantial addition in annual salaries to the Northern Ireland economy including very attractive roles for Managers, Directors and graduates."
Invest NI has offered the company £240,000 of support towards the new roles. Richard Gillan, Managing Partner of Grant Thornton in Northern Ireland, said: "This is an exciting and continued period of growth for Grant Thornton locally.
"Our recent move ... is reflective of our ambition and, given the calibre of our people, I anticipate continued rapid growth in the years to come.

"These new jobs represent a substantial investment in response to such demand. Specifically we are recruiting Change Management experts, IT consultants, Economic advisers and Cyber specialists.
"Our recent move to new offices on Donegall Square West in the centre of Belfast is reflective of our ambition and, given the calibre of our people, I anticipate continued rapid growth in the years to come."
