From Omagh to Australia… and back!
After a year Down Under, Emma McFarland chose Northern Ireland as the place to build her future - bringing global experience home and joining AM Consulting Engineers as a Senior Engineer.
For Emma, coming home wasn’t just about career opportunities. It was about reconnecting with friends and family, renovating a house, and embracing a new pace of life.
Her story shows that while the world offers endless possibilities, sometimes the best place to build your future is right where you started.

It’s National Engineering Day so we’re giving a big shout out to Sir James Martin, the legendary Northern Irish engineer who literally changed the course of aviation history.

Back in 1945, Martin pioneered the ejector seat - an invention that has saved over 7,600 lives. That’s not just clever engineering… that’s Northern Irish innovation at its absolute best! 👏

After decades living and working abroad, Tessa and Declan Breslin made the decision to return to Northern Ireland, not just for a change of pace, but to reconnect with their roots and contribute to a changing society.
Originally from Derry~Londonderry, their careers took them from London to New York, where they built a life, raised their family, and gained global experience in finance and leadership. In 2022, they chose to come home, settling in Holywood, County Down.
Now, they’re investing their international expertise into local organisations and communities - seeing their return as a full-circle moment.
Their story is a powerful reminder: coming home isn’t just about place...it’s about purpose.

🔐 Cyber Security Month: What AI Thinks About Life in Northern Ireland
This Cyber Security Awareness Month, we’re celebrating not just the importance of staying safe online but also the innovation and intelligence that powers the digital world. So, we asked one of the sharpest digital minds out there, AI, what makes Northern Ireland so special?
The answer? A list of seven reasons that made us totally agree. From our natural beauty and rich cultural heritage to our world-class education and friendly communities, AI nailed it.
But here’s the twist: Northern Ireland is a place where AI thrives. Our region is a global leader in cyber security, with cutting-edge research, thriving tech hubs, and a growing ecosystem of talent and innovation.
So while AI might not be able to cook your tea (yet), it can tell you that Northern Ireland is a brilliant place to live, work, and build the future of cyber.
