An American-owned computer company has invested £1.3 million in the expansion of its operation in Northern Ireland to take advantage of what it says are new business opportunities in the UK market. ICS Unicomp, which employs 105 people, is a computer services company based in Belfast since it was set up more than 30 years ago.

The expansion has already led to 27 new jobs; another 23 are expected in the next three years.
