Marius McGinnis, managing director of McGinnis Consulting, and originally from Northern Ireland, said: “Northern Ireland is in possession of one of the best educated financial services workforces in Europe, so it was a natural choice for us to locate our business here.

“As financial institutions move away from a cost focused strategy, to a more value-added location strategy, we believe that Northern Ireland is uniquely positioned to take advantage of this growing opportunity.

“I am happy to report that our clients agree,” he added.
