An employee-owned global consultancy firm is to create more than 100 jobs in Manchester with a new city centre office.
North Highland has taken space at One St Peter's Square after having opened its only other UK office in London in 2003.
The group is headquartered in Atlanta in the US and established in 1992.

North Highland's managing director of managed services Tony Doocey said: "Manchester is the second largest consulting market in the UK and a significant number of our FTSE 100 clients have operations there.
"The city is also easily commutable from neighbouring cities and is a hub that's rich in talent—particularly digital talent—with an emphasis on project portfolio management, change, process, and agile skills.
"As we continue to build the most enviable culture on the planet, this opening makes perfect sense for us. It couldn't be more aligned to our current needs, particularly in our large and growing Managed Services deals."
Tim Newns, chief executive of MIDAS, Manchester's inward investment agency, added: "Through their expansion to Manchester, North Highland will be joining a £5bn digital eco-system and a highly reputable tech cluster which offers an abundance of commercial opportunities.
"The city region also provides a continued pipeline of diverse digital talent – including 24,000 creative and STEM students – ensuring the right skills and innovative thinking are available to the company as it grows in the city."
