Wendy Hamilton, Chief Operations Officer, Netwatch Ireland said: “Netwatch is providing mission critical services to companies around the globe which ensure they are protected against major incidents, such as a terror attack and more importantly that they can continue to operate their businesses in the event of a major incident whether accidental or as a result of a deliberate act against the company.
“We will double the size of our business in the next three years. We chose Newry because it is an ideal location for us and we have received excellent support from Invest NI. The Newry monitoring and disaster recovery hub will initially target the motor dealer industry in the US as well as high net worth individuals in Africa, both key markets for our services.”
