Belfast–based Thales UK hosted a visit from the Finance Minister Simon Hamilton yesterday as part of ‘Minister on the Move’ – a new series of events by Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce in partnership with British Airways.

50 local businesses were invited to put their questions to the Minister and tour the Thales facilities in Castlereagh as part of the initiative that will see the Finance Minister meet with a wide range of companies across Northern Ireland throughout 2014.
