First Derivatives (FD) last week announced the opening of its new 8,000 sq ft office in Dublin, which it says will help facilitate the creation of multiple new jobs.
Based at George’s Quay, the facility also has the capability for expansion, to ensure it can assist FD’s growth plans for the years to come. The fintech firm said it has continued to experience significant growth in demand for consultancy services in Dublin, particularly in the areas of risk management, regulatory and compliance, and treasury management.
A spokesperson for FD stated: “Within our Kx business, the new office space also allows us to increase team sizes, develop more state-of-the-art solutions and continue to deliver first class service to our customers across finance and industry.”
Seamus Keating, Executive Chairman added: “We are delighted that the strategic vision of our founder and former CEO, the late Brian Conlon, to grow our presence in the local market is being realised through the recent award of a number of new delivery projects and the addition of a number of new banks to our existing blue-chip client list.
“The new office space at George’s Quay provides us with a suitably impressive platform for both our staff and clients as we enter the next exciting phase of expansion within the Irish market.”
