Lisburn, Northern Ireland: our home city and our work there
Lisburn is home. Our team works from Lisburn Enterprise Organisation on Enterprise Crescent, off the Ballinderry Road, so organisations across the city have their technology partner a few minutes up the road.
One accountable partner for Lisburn organisations
Being local changes how support feels. A failed switch in a unit at Knockmore Hill or a new starter at a practice near Bow Street is something we can often look at in person, rather than a ticket waiting for a slot in an engineer's diary across the country.
Lisburn's business community is broad for a city of its size: manufacturing and engineering on the industrial estates at its edges, retail and services around Sprucefield, professional practices in the centre, and family businesses across the wider Lisburn and Castlereagh council area. We know the roads, the buildings and the connections you can expect in each.
We're based at Lisburn Enterprise Organisation—so for Lisburn organisations, on-site visits, workshops and quarterly TechState™ Reviews happen at whatever pace suits you.
