“Due to Covid-19 we have switched to remote-working, which we are keeping on a permanent basis for improved work-life balance and flexibility. Our new team will also be home-based and we are excited to tap into an increased talent pool from all across Northern Ireland, not restricted by geography or personal circumstances.”
Derek Andrews, Head of International Investment at Invest NI, said: “I am delighted to welcome Sytorus to Northern Ireland as part of our growing business services sector. Our guidance and financial support has helped bring the company to Northern Ireland to avail of this talent.

“Over 70% of jobs created by international investors in Northern Ireland are across the ICT, financial services and business services sectors, which is a testament to the talent and skills we have on offer. The new jobs are a welcome addition to our local economy and will contribute £440,000 in additional annual salaries as we rebuild post-pandemic.”
