Invest NI open new southern local office
Invest Northern Ireland today officially opened the new premises of its southern local office which has moved to the city of Newry.
The Drumalane Mill, Quays property will serve as the office’s new base of operations as it continues to deliver business support and advice to companies based in Armagh, Banbridge, Craigavon, Down, Newry and Mourne council areas.
Speaking at the opening Professor Terri Scott, Managing Director of Clients and Entrepreneurship at Invest NI said: “These new premises confirm Invest NI’s long term commitment to South Down and Armagh and our local office focus on stimulating entrepreneurial growth and business development in these areas.
“By encouraging our client companies to increase their competitiveness and focus on innovation we are helping to create a successful and vibrant economy.”
Mark Bleakney, Regional Manager of the southern local office added: “This move represents a significant milestone in the development of our office as we continue to support local businesses.
“Within this region alone we have over 432 active client companies that employ 19,346 people. By continuing to promote the various programmes and initiatives that Invest NI has to offer local companies we are helping to create a strong, healthy economy.”
To amplify and clarify the role of the local office network a new brochure was also launched at the event, outlining the full range of support programmes and business advice currently delivered by Invest NI. The Local Office Network brochure also features a number of case studies from successful client companies.
The official opening of the new premises is part of the UK’s first ever National Enterprise Week, November 15-21, which was marked in Northern Ireland by Invest NI’s ‘Celebration of Entrepreneurship’ event at the Waterfront Hall today.
