Recruitmen­t firm spreads its wings with Belfast office

-

Specialist recruiter imultiply has opened a Belfast office as it looks to tap into Northern Ireland’s entreprene­urial business market.

The new operation is located within the city’s iconic Scottish Provident Building and will be headed by director Billy Mccarthy and supported by a team that includes Jamie Watts, who is relocating as part of the expansion.

Kirsty Mackenzie, chief executive of the finance and accountanc­y recruitmen­t specialist, said: “When we start- ed assessing the opportunit­y in Belfast, we quickly noticed that the city is not dissimilar to the Scottish market particular­ly when you look at the high level of ambitious, entreprene­urial companies.”

The firm now has a team of 17 across its Edinburgh, Glasgow and Belfast offices and is on course for increased revenue of around £1.3 million in 2017. The existing client base includes online tyre retailer Blackcircl­es.com, which was acquired by Michelin in 2015, and data specialist deltadna.
