A Northern Ireland tech company with a major global customer base has tripled the size of its Belfast headquarters following its expansion.
Pytilia, which now generates 90% of revenues from global customers, has opened a 4,500 sq ft office space at Weavers Business Park in the city.
It will be a base for Pytilia’s more than 50 team members who provide software design and development services to clients including Hewlett Packard, BT and international financial services companies.
The business specialises in cloud computing, data engineering and AI, and has major experience in financial services, especially regulatory technology, compliance and wealthtech, as well as in cybersecurity, telecoms and critical infrastructure.
Co-founder Angela Montgomery said: “Pytilia has grown steadily since our launch five years ago as our global customer-base has expanded, and we are continuing to recruit for a range of roles.
“To accommodate our growth, we are tripling our available space and providing an invaluable base for our team to be together and to support new joiners to the business, which is especially important with Pytilia’s strong focus on early careers.”

Co-founder Tim Silversides added: “Pytilia invests heavily in talent including with year-out placements and graduate programmes alongside our ‘earn as you learn’ degree apprenticeships.
“Around 20% of our team fall into the ‘early career’ category with apprentices making up over 10% of our workforce. A world-class office environment is critical for their ongoing development.”
Economy Minister Caoimhe Archibald, who attended the opening of the office, said: “Pytilia exemplifies an indigenous software company driving innovation through R&D and collaboration with local universities, whilst creating high quality jobs and career opportunities.
“I warmly congratulate them on the opening of these impressive new offices, which will support the company’s continued growth.”
Pytilia is one of eight companies collaborating with academia as part of the Cyber AI Hub at the Centre for Secure Information Technologies (CSIT) at Queen’s University Belfast.
