The former managing director of Xerox Ireland is to lead a new IT solutions and document technology company in Belfast as part of a £1.8 million investment over the next three years.
Innovative Workplace Solutions (IWS) has opened new offices on the city’s Heron Road and managing director Mark McPhillips said the business will have a workforce of 11 by the end of this year. It is owned by Cork-based print business National Business Machines and works as a premier partner of Xerox products and services.
“Our focus is on helping organisations work smarter, more efficiently and more effectively through the deployment of innovative IT services and workplace technology solutions,” Mr McPhillips said. “We talk about creating ‘the workspace of tomorrow’ through innovative technology.”
“We know businesses must create modern, efficient and secure workspaces for their people – in both their physical and virtual offices.”
He said the region offers significant growth potential in the future.
“Northern Ireland represents a fantastic growth opportunity for us. The entrepreneurial spirit, innovation and sheer level of business talent in Northern Ireland makes it an ideal place for us to set up our headquarters.
“We look forward to embedding ourselves in the local community and building positive working relationships across a wide range of sectors.”
