17 September 2026, Belfast, Northern Ireland – TP ICAP, a leading global provider of market infrastructure and data solutions, today officially opened its new Belfast office in City Quays, marking a decade of growth and investment in Northern Ireland.

The opening ceremony was attended by First Minister Michelle O'Neill, deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly, alongside representatives from business, education, local government and community organisations.

The milestone marks ten years since TP ICAP established operations in Belfast. What began as a strategic investment in Northern Ireland's growing talent base has developed into a significant part of the firm's global operations, employing more than 480 colleagues and supporting clients and across financial markets worldwide.

The new office, located within Belfast's City Quays district, provides a modern workspace designed to support continued growth, collaboration and innovation. It reflects TP ICAP's long-term commitment to Belfast and confidence in the city's future as a centre for financial and professional services.

Nicolas Breteau, Chief Executive Officer of TP ICAP, said:

"Today we celebrate two important milestones: the opening of our new Belfast office and ten years of TP ICAP in Northern Ireland.

When we established our presence here a decade ago, we saw a city with ambition, a strong talent pool and enormous potential. That belief has been validated many times over. Belfast has become an integral part of our global business and the colleagues based here make a significant contribution to our success every day.

This new office represents an investment in our people and our future. It demonstrates our long-term commitment to Belfast and our confidence in the opportunities that lie ahead."

First Minister Michelle O’Neill said: 

“I am delighted to officially open TP ICAP’s new office at City Quays and mark ten years of the company in Belfast. Its growth over the past decade, to a workforce of more than 480 people, is a strong vote of confidence in our highly skilled talent and thriving financial and professional services sector.

Belfast has earned an international reputation as a hub for financial services and fintech, and TP ICAP has played an important role in that success. Its investment has created high-quality jobs, developed local skills and opened up rewarding career opportunities for people here.

With capacity for further growth, this new office underlines TP ICAP’s long-term commitment to Belfast and provides a strong foundation for its next phase of growth.”

Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly said: 

"TP ICAP's decade of growth in Belfast is a real vote of confidence in Northern Ireland's talent and potential. Since establishing here in 2016, the company has grown from a technology centre to a major operational hub employing over 400 people, and today's expansion, creating capacity for a further 150 jobs, shows that confidence continuing to build.

"Financial and related professional services is one of our most important growth sectors, now employing over 40,000 people here, and investments like this from globally recognised firms are central to that success. I want to congratulate TP ICAP on this milestone and thank them for their continued commitment to Belfast. This Executive is determined to keep creating the conditions for investment, good jobs and economic growth in every part of Northern Ireland."

Over the past ten years, TP ICAP has built a diverse workforce in Belfast spanning operations, technology, data, risk, finance, compliance and business support functions. The office has become an important source of talent for the Group, with Belfast-based colleagues progressing into senior roles across TP ICAP's global network, including in New York, Paris and other international locations.

The company has also developed strong partnerships with local universities, community organisations and business groups, helping create opportunities for students and professionals building careers in financial services and technology.

Following a meeting with senior political leaders, guests toured the new facility, met employees from across the business and attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially mark the opening.

Alongside senior political leaders, the formal ribbon-cutting event was attended by representatives from Queen's University Belfast, Ulster University, Belfast Harbour, Belfast City Council, the Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Belfast Chamber, charitable partners, recruitment partners and local business leaders.
