Formed in April 2012 by Catherine O'Neill during her final year as a civil engineering student at Queen’s University, Amelio has received assistance totalling £35,340 from Invest NI towards an expansion of its business and marketing activities.

The company, in addition, has benefited from design advice from Invest NI to create a new corporate identity.
