IT firm to create 45 jobs in £3.3m expansion project

A leading Belfast-based IT firm is set to create 45 new jobs as part of a £3.3 million expansion project.

Kainos said it would be recruiting business consultants, software engineers and project managers along with positions for graduates as part of its 12 month plan which is being helped by a £494,000 grant from government-funded Invest NI.

Managing director Brendan Mooney described the plans as "fantastic news".

"By investing significant resources internally, we have been able to diversify and broaden our customer base and focus," he said.

Mr Rooney said the expansion was due to the success of its speech recognition and document management software products.
