Oonagh Hinds, Invest NI's Eastern Regional Office Manager, said: "McCloy Consulting is an innovative environmental service provider and its main clients are in niche markets which are growing.

"Businesses such as McCloy Consulting which have the capability to offer a specialist product or service can make a significant contribution to the local economy by identifying and satisfying solid demand in sizeable external markets."

Anthony McCloy, McCloy Consulting Managing Director, said: "There is considerable demand for our services for a number of reasons.

"The wind energy market is expanding as governments and local councils in our target markets seek to achieve climate change objectives by ensuring the production of more wind-generated electricity.

"The increased environmental sensitivity around these developments has boosted demand for our services”

He added: "They are demanding a higher standard of sustainable flood management for proposed development sites, and this represents further business opportunities for us."

McCloy Consulting's existing customer base includes several well-known companies such as UK-based Renewable Energy Systems and Airtricity in the Republic of Ireland.
