A NEW digital training company, launched by three digital marketers, has announced plans to create ten new jobs over the next three years.
Alchemy Digital Training, which has already secured over £350,000 worth of contracts with organisations including Women in Business and Enterprise Northern Ireland, has been set up by Niamh Taylor of Digital 24; digital marketing trainer, Emma Gribben, and digital strategist Kathryn Pyper.
The three have said they will invest £250,000 to open the north’s first dedicated digital training hub in Belfast in the coming months.
Niamh Taylor, who has taken on the role of managing director of Alchemy, said: Myself, Kathryn and Emma have over 30 years’ combined experience in the digital marketing industry and have collectively trained over 20,000 delegates across NI, the UK and throughout Europe.
“Around 86% of companies recently surveyed by the CBI said they currently have digital skills shortages which is something that urgently needs addressed to ensure continued growth.”
Ms Taylor said Alchemy’s own research yielded similar results, suggesting some companies are limiting their growth potential.
