NI's innovative maritime engineering firm, Artemis Technologies, has celebrated reaching 150 employees.

The company has experienced substantial growth recently as the mass production of the Artemis EF-12 Workboat range has began. The production has driven recruitment in manufacturing because of Artemis Technologies scaling up to meet global demand.

Reinforcing its commitment to delivering green jobs in Northern Ireland, Artemis Technologies has welcomed its latest intake of apprentices. Building on its successful collaboration with Belfast Met College, the Advanced Manufacturing Engineering apprenticeship program, now in its third year, has resulted in the company employing 23 apprentices in total.
