'Rolls-Royce' Jobs Glide Into Lurgan
A firm whose clients include the prestigious luxury car marque, Rolls-Royce and well-known retailers such as Marks & Spencer, is cruising into future expansion with news of a multi million pound investment that will create 37 new jobs in Co Armagh.
NI Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster announced that MITIE Security Ltd in Lurgan has set up a state-of-the-art technology centre called MiTec for which Invest Northern Ireland has offered support of £259,000.
The DUP Minister (pictured) made the announcement during a visit to the company's new operation in Silverwood Industrial Park, Lurgan where she heard that MITIE's security business is part of the MITIE Group which employs over 56,000 people and provides facilities, property and asset management services.
Speaking during the visit the Minister said: "MITIE is a major player in the UK security sector and has chosen to set up this facility in Lurgan because of the technical expertise available in the workforce, our excellent infrastructure and the support offered by Invest Northern Ireland.
"The jobs being created offer salaries above the private sector average and represent a real boost to the local economy."
It will be the only full function communications hub within the industry and will provide a one-stop-shop for remote control security and support services.
Bob Forsyth, Managing Director, Security, said: "MITIE is seeking to strengthen its total security management offering and meet the future needs of our clients by investing in risk based products and specialist services.
"Our new MiTec centre will not only use the latest technology to deliver cutting edge solutions to support and enhance our core offering, but will also enable our business to support MITIE in its growth aspirations outside of the UK market," he said.
"We chose Northern Ireland because it offers a commercially attractive, cost competitive location for the company."
