“This latest success for Denroy highlights the opportunities that exist for ambitious Northern Ireland companies in the US market. The delegation of US businesses travelling with me around Northern Ireland for the last four days    are getting to see first-hand the calibre of Northern Ireland companies and the compelling investment location that Northern Ireland offers. I’m certain that the relationship between the US and Northern Ireland will continue to deliver mutual economic benefits.”
