INDEPENDENT telecoms specialist Radius Connect is relocating to a new state-of-the-art grade A office in Belfast's Clarendon Dock as part of a multi-million pound investment which brings together its fuel card and telematics divisions.
The move is integral to the integration of its business across the UK and Ireland.
And the new hub will also act as a catalyst for further expansion across the island, complementing existing offices in Derry and Galway.
Part of Sunday Times Top Track 100 company Radius Payment Solutions, which has more than 40,000 customers in Ireland in telecoms, fuel cards and telematics, owns DCI, the island’s largest fuel card business which this year celebrates its 25th anniversary.
Radius Payment Solutions previously acquired local telecoms firms Rainbow Communications and Connect Telecom, which now become part of the Radius Connect telecoms business.
Stephen McQuoid, Radius Connect's regional director in Ireland said: “We're delighted that, with this additional investment in Belfast, we’re unifying and strengthening our talented and skilled teams under the Radius Connect brand to deliver a new era of growth and more support for businesses which rely on us for the best technology, telecoms and advice.”
“As the now largest local independent telecoms supplier, our new offices in the heart of Belfast underpin our commitment to the city and region, cementing our ambitions to increase our presence and positive impact on local and regional economies and we look forward to announcing further investments in the months ahead.”
Recognised as one of the UK’s top 20 employers to work for, Radius Payment Solutions has added 30 new staff to its Belfast team since October, bolstering its customer sales and service teams in fuel, telematics and telecoms and also within its finance division.
And it says there are plans to further grow its sales and operations teams in Belfast further in the year ahead.
Radius Connect recently introduced a graduate scheme, similar to those offered at Radius Payment Solutions, and partnered with the Chartered Institute of Accountants of Ireland as a training partner for professional development growth to further support the growing Radius Connect finance hub in Belfast, which will support teams across the UK, Ireland and Europe.
The company provides mobile, fixed line and cloud services based on solutions from industry-leading providers such as Microsoft as well as Vodafone, O2, EE, NFon and Gamma.
It counts CBRE, Deli Lites, UPU Industries, Shelbourne Motors and John Minnis Estate Agents among its top-tier clients.
Mr McQuoid added: “Our business customers are focused on recovery and growth, and we are committed to delivering solutions that will make that easy and secure. Driving value to ensure that everyone has the right products and an award-winning service to reach their full potential.
“We listen carefully to customers, working closely to provide our expertise and the best value solutions to fit exacting requirements that fully support the delivery of dependable, highly secure and flexible business communications. We invest in customer service, tailored solutions and tech so that they don’t have to.”
With offices in 15 countries, Radius Payment Solutions says it is “actively pursuing an international diversification strategy” to provide customers with a range of business services across telecoms, electric vehicle charge points, telematics, insurance and fuel cards.
