The new facility, which will focus on development and technical support for Tullett’s global business, is backed by Invest Northern Ireland, which is providing support and assistance to attract and develop employees.
The organisation – one of the world’s leading interdealer brokers – plans to establish a major technology centre in Northern Ireland, to support its worldwide growth strategy.
Tullett Prebon will receive more than £2 million from Invest NI and £400,000 from the Department for the Economy to support the investment project.
Tullett Prebon is to establish a major new technology centre in Belfast which will serve as a global hub for the firm’s technology operations.
Tullett Prebon plc (TLPR.L) reported that its profit before tax for the six months ended 30 June 2016 dropped to 35.5 million pounds from last year’s 111.1 million pounds. Our new Belfast centre will play a pivotal role in the delivery of our global technology strategy.
“The new jobs will offer an average salary of £33,000, providing excellent opportunities for graduate and experienced IT professionals as well as school leavers”.
She said the move was a “vote of confidence” in the Northern Ireland workforce.
Luke Barnett, Group of Tullett Prebon, said: “We are delighted to announce the launch of our technology centre in Northern Ireland”.
