The independent insurance broker currently employs nine people locally, but is in the process of recruiting a further five staff to cope with demand.

Autloline is now the fastest growing broker in Fermanagh, providing a range of personal and business insurance products.

It has a particularly strong presence in the farm sector and the new office has been designated as Autoline’s Agri-Business Centre of Excellence.

Mrs Foster said: “It is a great pleasure to be in Enniskillen today to mark a very significant day for Autoline and to celebrate the creation of new jobs and premises.

“Autoline is a prime example of the entrepreneurial talent and expertise we have in Northern Ireland and is another significant success story for one of our local companies, with sales in excess of £2million in the last year alone.

“Through well established industry links, this company has built its skill base, particularly within the agricultural field, resulting in today’s announcement of expansion and recruitment here in Enniskillen.

“I commend the exceptional talent of Autoline’s highly motivated Northern Ireland team. I pay tribute to your commitment to quality and innovation.”

Richard Henderson, Autoline’s Enniskillen branch manager,said the growth had come by “offering great products at great prices and excellent customer service”.
