Fujitsu Services creates 150 jobs in Derry & Belfast – Northern Ireland Jobs
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008
Fujitsu Services will create 150 jobs in Northern Ireland as part of an Stg11 million investment. The jobs will be created in Derry and Belfast. 120 Jobs will be created at the new Applications Services Centre in Derry and a further 30 jobs will be created at Fujitsu’s Belfast operations. The new jobs will be created in areas such as technical support and application management. The announcement will bring the total number employees to over 900 in Northern Ireland.
The IT services company will invest Stg9 million and InvestNI will invest Stg2 million in the project. The latest investment follows previous investments of over Stg20 million in the last year creating over 400 jobs.
Northern Ireland is becoming increasingly attractive to investors seeking to expand into Europe and it has seen its fair share of multinational activity over the last few years. Many view this as lost opportunity for the South but I feel the Island as a whole is benefiting.
