US Owned Firm To Create 12 New Jobs In Belfast

A US owned firm is to create 12 new jobs over the next year after announcing plans to set up a European team in Belfast.

MIK Fund Solutions confirmed the posts will have average salaries of £63,000.

Alastair Hamilton, Invest NI CEO, said: "MIK Fund Solutions is an exciting and ambitious business operating in a niche Financial Services market, with a growing reputation. This new office in Belfast will allow the company to extend its software development footprint and to offer 'follow-the-sun' 24/7 client-support.

"The company considered a number of locations for this centre but chose Northern Ireland due to the fit with its current strategic direction, citing the supply of highly skilled software engineers, infrastructure and operating costs as key to their decision."

MIK provides specialised software solutions to the asset management industry.

Invest Northern Ireland has offered support towards the creation of the new roles which include 10 software developers and two business financial analysts.
