The chief executive of Tullett Prebon has declared Belfast the "standout" location for a new tech hub the interdealer broker is to set up. John Phizackerley announced plans to house some 300 staff in the Northern Irish capital in a firm message of support for the UK's prospects in a post-Brexit world.

Tullett Prebon announced plans for the new tech hub, which will be fully operational in 2019, on August 2 alongside its first-half results, which showed a rise in underlying profits from a year earlier.
