The new roles cover: end user support services, cloud infrastructure deployment and management, cyber security, and service management, he added.

The company employs 82 in Steel City House on West Street. It was forced to postpone its opening party in March 2020 due to ‘the growing public health concern around travel and public gatherings’ relating to the coronavirus outbreak.

A spokesman said then: “We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and of course we will be re-scheduling at a later date.”
