TEXAS software firm Bazaarvoice has confirmed it will relocate its Belfast headquarters after hitting 100 staff in the city.
The company, which provides product reviews and user-generated content (UGC) solutions, set up its European base in Belfast four years ago, announcing plans to create 168 jobs.
Currently based at Castle Street in the city centre, the tech firm’s workforce has now reached 100 in the city after recruiting 42 people in just over a year.
It follows the acquisition of social commerce specialist Curalate last year. Bazaarvoice said it will now operate a product development department from the Belfast site.
From the end of July, that site will be Lanyon Plaza, next door to BT’s Belfast headquarters.
Fermanagh firm Tracey Brothers is currently carrying out a fitout project on the two-floor 1,110 sq ft offices.
Seamus Cushley VP of product development and site lead at Bazaarvoice described the move as a landmark moment for Bazaarvoice in Belfast.
“We’re moving into a space that can accommodate the expected growth in our team and provide us with an environment to collaborate in the new hybrid world of work.
“Our team in Belfast is growing in number but we’re also growing the Belfast presence within the product development side of the business.
“We have built a highly skilled team of professionals in Belfast performing business critical roles in product development that are deeply connected to and add real value for the company’s customers,” he said.
“We are focused on excellence and excited about the next phase of Bazaarvoice’s development in the city.”
