Ergo Invests £4.5m In New Belfast Office And Creates 40 Jobs

A leading IT solutions provider has invested £4.5 million into a new Belfast office which will create 40 high-quality jobs over three years.

Ergo's new office in Clockwise, River House, near Belfast's Cathedral Quarter supports its strategy of driving economic growth, job creation, and tech exports from Northern Ireland.

The company is recruiting for 40 hybrid roles, adding to its 700-strong international IT workforce across five markets including Ireland, the UK, US, Romania and New Zealand.

Paul McCann, Ergo's CEO, said: "Ergo sits at the intersection of business and technology and CIOs the world over trust us for our proven track record over the past thirty years. Our presence in Northern Ireland means we will now be ideally situated between two key markets across Ireland and the UK, allowing us to serve even more customers as we continue to expand our footprint globally."

Ergo's expansion aims to attract local talent to bolster its digital practice, and build out its wider managed services proposition, incorporating IT solutions covering cloud and infrastructure, data and AI, as well as cyber security for organisations across both the public and private sectors.

Welcoming the investment, which is supported by Invest Northern Ireland, Economy Minister Conor Murphy said: "The software and cyber sector is one of the north’s most innovative, productive and export-orientated sectors. Ergo's investment recognises the benefits of establishing operations in the north, it capitalises on our high-quality IT skills base and world-class IT graduates.

"Investments like Ergo's will help to grow the sector by creating high-quality jobs that support economic growth. With salaries well above the private sector median, these roles will contribute almost £2.4 million annually into the local economy.

"I also welcome Ergo's commitment to equality and inclusivity, aligning with my vision of providing Good Jobs for all."
