THE management team behind Titanic Belfast and the new Game of Thrones touring exhibition is taking on 150 staff ahead of the busy tourist season.

TBL International is undertaking a major recruitment drive for fixed-term positions across a number of areas, as it looks to add to its 280-strong team.

TBL is the management company behind Titanic Belfast and the SS Nomadic, as well as the new Game of Thrones touring exhibition, coming to the Titanic Exhibition Centre (TEC) in April.

The exhibition, which combines costumes, authentic props and sets from all seven series of the HBO hit will be in Belfast from April 11 to September 1. Belfast is the debut stop on a UK and Ireland tour.

TBL International’s chief executive, Judith Owens said they are looking for passionate staff for a "blockbuster" tourist season.

“From the very beginning, we have valued our staff as one of key assets and reasons for success. We are preparing for a truly blockbuster summer at Titanic Belfast, following our busiest summer to date last year," she said

"We want staff who are passionate about selling two of Northern Ireland’s biggest exports and have stories to tell. If you have a passion for Titanic or Game of Thrones, tourism and have excellent communication skills– you could be part of our award-winning crew.”

A unique ‘Showcase Day’ is being organised to help track down front line staff who can promote two of Northern Ireland’s biggest exports to the world. Candidates, who must pre-register to secure a slot, will be given a task and will then be required to give a three-minute interpretative presentation to demonstrate their communication skills and passion for the project.

The showcase for prospective front-of-house employees will be held on Friday February 22 and Saturday 23 at the MAC Belfast in front of an expert judging panel.
