US Firm To Create Over 70 New Jobs In Belfast
A US digital publishing firm is to create over 70 new jobs in Belfast.
Highwire Press is to invest £6 million in new software development projects and create a total of 74 new posts.
First Minister Arlene Foster and deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness met with Dan Filby, HighWire's Chief Executive Officer in San Francisco as part of an investment programme to both the East and West coasts of the United States of America.
Arlene Foster said: "The total investment as a result of this project, supported by Invest Northern Ireland, equates to nearly £6 million and is a great boost to Belfast’s reputation as number one in Europe for new software development projects.
