Reed Managed Services currently employs 62 people in the city (2500 overall), the expansion will see that rise to 220. It will provide human resources, shared services and technical support to the UK and Ireland from Belfast. Finance director Derek Beal said they wanted to 'grow into a market-leading HR consultancy & outsourced services business'.
