£3.5m investment for eircom
A £3.5 million investment by eircom in its telecommunications infrastructure has been welcomed today by the Economy Minister Nigel Dodds.
The Minister said: “This is an important announcement by eircom, not only because it is investing in its network and services but because it will bring more competition and choice to businesses and consumers across many areas of Northern Ireland.”
Today’s announcement includes establishing a state-of-the-art network operations centre in Belfast, which will employ 15 people in high value added jobs, such as network engineers. Eircom’s investment provides a strong foundation to develop and offer increased services to public sector and business customers.
The company plans to make further investment as it increases its presence, in what it sees as an attractive market with significant opportunities.
Mr Dodds added: “Access to world class telecommunication infrastructure, such as that being provided by eircom, is crucial for all Northern Ireland companies if they are to improve their competitiveness and increase growth.”
According to Pierre Danon, Chairman of eircom: “Today’s investment announcement demonstrates eircom’s commitment to establishing a significant presence in Northern Ireland.
“We look forward to growing and developing the telecommunications market in this key market for eircom.”
