Accelalpha director Joe Spear said: “Inverclyde has been identified as one of the locations for us to continue expansion in the European market and we’re very excited by the growth potential offered in the area.

“As our client base in Europe expands we will be looking to bring new jobs and contribute to the economic growth of the community.”
