“The new support centre in Belfast will be core to our growth, not only supporting our existing client base, but also in enabling us to capitalise on opportunities in Europe,” he added.

Mr Hamilton said Redline had chosen Belfast as the location of its new global support centre over its other global locations in Britain, Ireland and Asia.

“These are well-paid roles across software engineering, support and sales. The team in Belfast will be solely focused on developing Redline’s global support services,” he added.

Invest NI is backing the company’s investment project in Belfast with £100,000 (€115,472) of financial support.
