One of Northern Irelands fastest growing technology businesses is investing almost £600,000 and creating 13 new jobs. Antrim-headquartered Decision Time is expanding its workforce by 75% this year to meet growing demand across its public and private sector customer base. The new roles will be in software development, sales, customer service, HR and marketing.
Invest Northern Ireland has supported the creation of 10 of the roles with an offer of support of £75,000. This will help increase the company’s headcount from 17 at the beginning of this year to 30 by the end of 2021, with further recruitment expected in 2022.
Founded by entrepreneurs Geoff and Sinead Higgins, Decision Time provides software that makes it easier for organisations to practice good governance by running effective meetings, managing risk and monitoring their strategic performance. It enables CEOs, directors and leaders across any organisation to manage all of these essential requirements in one place.
Its customers include NHS Trusts, large universities, over 60 housing associations in England, Scotland and Wales, 40 percent of the Republic of Ireland’s public sector bodies, and major Northern Ireland organisations such as Tourism NI and Translink.
CEO Geoff Higgins said: “Corporate governance has moved right up the agenda for large organisations in recent years, and as hoards and senior leadership teams have shifted to meeting remotely, an easy-to-use cloud hosted solution has been a priority for them. We have been able to sustain good growth over a number of years and this year we are expecting this to be even stronger, based on our current market penetration and pipeline of enquiries.”
Sinead Higgins, Business Director of Decision Time said: “We are delighted to be in a position where we can create new jobs to support the growth that we experienced in 2020, and to enable us to expand further this year. Decision Time puts a huge emphasis on attracting and retaining the best people so that we can deliver exceptional products and customer service to our customers. We are therefore offering a really fantastic package to team members including a generous profit share scheme for all staff, significantly increased annual leave, a healthcare plan and industry leading flexible working practices.”
