Leeds digital agency, twentysix, is to create 20 new jobs in Belfast as its expands into Northern Ireland.
CEO Ryan Scott, explained that it was a strategic move to support long-term growth:
“We’re incredibly excited to be joining one of the most energetic tech hubs in Europe. An abundance of local talent combined with recent investment in the region’s tech sector is what drew us to Belfast, and we know this city will be a great fit for our business.
“Our accelerated adoption of remote and flexible working gives us confidence to seamlessly integrate remote talent into the twentysix team, and we’re also excited about what this means for our global clients.”
Scott confirmed that the agency’s headquarters would remain in Leeds, with the move coming after a number of client wins including Tag Heuer, Holland & Barrett and the CIPD.
