Located at The Gasworks in Belfast, one of the city’s most famous landmarks, the company’s new regional headquarters will support a growing sales team and customer base following its launch in the country in 2008.

'With Navman Wireless now firmly established in Ireland, we’re now focusing on improving the resources available to our sales staff and strengthening our relationships with existing customers,' said Steve Blackburn, European vice president.

'While providing the perfect platform for this, the new office will allow us to reach a larger demographic and ensure continued growth and job creation within the region.'

Robert Lamont has been chosen to spearhead the company’s latest investment, fresh from his recent success as national sales manager at the company’s Glasgow base. He commented: 'A rapidly mounting number of businesses throughout Ireland are tuning in to the wealth of benefits that vehicle tracking offers.

'As a consequence, the country provides real potential for Navman Wireless and we’re channelling a great deal of commitment into this exciting move.'
