We want to put Antrim on the map and make the town a centre for innovation, creativity, opportunity and expansion. We know that people who live within our local community have the experience and skills to drive the future of our company and its our mission to provide an environment that is progressive, forward thinking and innovative in return.

“We also want to bolster our local economy here in Antrim by providing jobs and preventing any further ‘brain drain’ from the area.

The work life balance is also important, and our working hours are Monday to Thursday, 7am to 4pm and Friday, 7am to 10:30am.

“The Group has had a number of people join us over the last few months and it’s testament to everyone in the organisation that those who have joined us, are loving their roles, the craic and banter as well as the overarching culture of the organisation.
