Ireland’s leading field management company, FMI, has announced that it is expanding its operations in Northern Ireland and relocating to a new larger office space in The Ormeau Baths following 18 months of rapid growth.
The company, which has its headquarters in Dublin, provides services which include direct sales, merchandising, in-store demonstrations, retail auditing and a customer service centre solution to clients in a range of industries including energy and hospitality.
FMI established its first Belfast base at Sydenham Business Park in October 2015 and has since grown its team from two to 45 following a period of significant activity.
The company is currently recruiting for talent in sales and demos to work with their client list, which now includes big name brands in Northern Ireland such as Electric Ireland, Heineken, Nespresso, Red Bull, Topaz, Eddie Rockets, Keelings, United Wine Merchants and Coca Cola.
Nicola de Beer, managing director of FMI, said: “We are delighted with how well we have been received in Northern Ireland. Our growing client list and employee numbers is testament to the hard work of our team. Business has grown considerably over the past 18 months and we have grown out of our offices. We have been constantly recruiting the best talent. We are looking forward to a future delivering for our clients and adding more FMCG names to our portfolio.”
Julie McBride, account manager at FMI Belfast, said: “Our new office is future proofed for a growing and expanding team. We wanted to be centrally located and closer to our clients and we have absolutely hit the jackpot with The Ormeau Baths, a building which suits our personality. There will be six staff based in the new office, supporting the wider team in the field. We have recently won the acclaimed Champion Outsourced Partner at the Sales Champion Awards and we will continue to build on the success of FMI in Northern Ireland.”
