Plate-Up is to establish its new Operations Centre in Belfast.

Established in 2018, the SME has developed a recipe and online grocery shopping app that provides users with an all-in-one meal planning and online shopping experience. Users can select from over 500 carefully selected recipes, tailored to their own dietary preferences, and have the ingredients for these delivered to their house along with other household items from a supermarket of their choosing.

"I am originally from Northern Ireland and know first-hand the quality of talent available here. With Invest NI’s support, this is now a reality and we can begin to increase our capabilities, expand our operations and achieve our goals to grow on a global basis."

With its new Operations Centre, Plate-Up will bring the future technical development of the app in-house, and build the necessary sales and marketing, operations and finance functions to grow and expand into new markets.
