Irish Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Micheál Martin has performed the official opening of Northern Trust Ireland’s headquarters in Dublin.

It specialises in providing asset servicing, asset management, wealth management and banking solutions to institutional and personal investors. It is one of the world’s largest global custodians and asset managers, a leading fund administrator in europe and one of the largest wealth managers in the united states. In 2000, it established a fund services division, Northern Trust (Ireland) Ltd in Dublin, which currently employs over 400 people.

Minister Martin said: “This is an exciting day for Northern Trust Corporation. It operates at the cutting edge of global financial services, and has been expanding its operations rapidly in Ireland in recent years. Just last month, I announced that Northern Trust is establishing a fund administration operation in Limerick creating up to 300 jobs, with the support of IDA Ireland. This new Dublin headquarters is testament once again to the company’s impressive track record and continuing growth and success in Ireland.”

Vic Holmes, Managing Director of Northern Trust Ireland, said: “Northern Trust has had a presence in Ireland since 1990, and is now one of the largest, fastest growing fund administrators here, with expertise in servicing a broad range of fund types.

“In less than two years, Northern Trust has more than doubled the size of its workforce in Ireland to a current total of 400 employees. Relocating to our new headquarters at George’s Court gives us an opportunity to welcome our clients into an outstanding work environment with state-of-the-art technology facilities. Having additional space will also enable us to continue to expand our team and capabilities in Ireland.”
