First Derivatives and MRP Make Belfast Office Move to Support Rapid Growth

First Derivatives plc (FD) and MRP have recently relocated their joint Belfast office to accommodate the rapid growth of both businesses. FD recently announced plans to recruit 1,000 new employees in the next three years. MRP, a subsidiary of First Derivatives, is the leading global provider of AI-powered customer acquisition software and services and has been operating in Belfast for over eight years.

The Belfast office is now located in the newly redeveloped Weaving Works building on Ormeau Avenue. Previously known as Armagh House, the historic building has been vacant for nearly two decades. Together, FD and MRP will now occupy the entire restored office space, housing 350 employees under one roof.
