A Lisburn-based It company has secured £100,000 worth of contracts in the London and Glasgow construction industries.

The Xperience Group employs about 90 staff in Lisburn, Peterborough and a recently opened Glasgow office.

Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster said: "Xperience has taken a strategic approach to building key areas of expertise and successfully establishing itself as an expert IT provider within the UK marketplace.

"In achieving this it has been supported by Invest Northern Ireland which helped it to develop a three-year growth strategy, improve the skills of its employees and strengthen its technical infrastructure."

Xperience provides a range of computer hardware and software solutions, and is a reseller of financial and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software products. It also provides technical support services.

Minister Foster was welcomed to the Lisburn site this morning by Patrick Leggett, Director of Xperience.

He said: "We have a clear and targeted approach to growing our business through new technologies and have developed specific core software applications and cloud computing expertise.

"The role that technology plays within the administration and efficiency of any business is set to rise and we want to significantly increase our share of this market across these islands."
