Professional services firm EY has announced plans to open its second location in Northern Ireland later this year in response to growing client demand.
EY Northern Ireland has selected Ebrington Plaza in Derry as the location for its new regional office as the firm seeks to harness both growing client demand and the exceptional talent across the North West.
The office in the Derry City and Strabane District Council area will be its seventh location on the island of Ireland in Derry later this year and is set to play a crucial role in EY’s strategy to expand its regional presence. EY says it expects to commence occupancy in Derry during the second quarter of 2025.

The new Northwest office reinforces EY NI’s commitment made at the Northern Ireland Investment Summit in September 2023 to create 1,000 new jobs in NI over the next five years, which will double the total EY NI headcount.
EY supports organisations across a broad range of industries and sectors, in areas such as Audit, Corporate Finance, Tax and Law, Consulting, AI and Data Analytics. It currently employs more than 1,000 people in Northern Ireland and over 5,100 people on the island of Ireland, with offices in Belfast, Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford.
Rob Heron, EY Northern Ireland Managing Partner, said: “We are really pleased to announce the selection of Ebrington Plaza as our new regional office in Derry. This move aligns with our strategy to grow the business and tap into the pool of world-class talent across the Northwest.
“We are delighted to have the opportunity to collaborate with stakeholders in the region and become an integral part of this vibrant community. More broadly, the selection of Ebrington Plaza is a significant milestone for EY in Northern Ireland.
