Also Belfast-based, it provides a range of services aimed at improving workplace effectiveness, talent and reward. 

Whiterock runs the £30m Growth Finance Fund, which provides loans to SMEs across Northern Ireland in the range of £500k to £2m, with finance provided by the British Business Bank, Invest Northern Ireland and private investors, Northern Ireland Local Government Officers’ Superannuation Committee (NILGOSC). It also runs the £30m Growth Loan Fund II as part of Invest Northern Ireland’s Access to Finance portfolio, which is part-funded by ERDF under the EU Investment for Growth and Jobs Programme 2014-2020. The fund provides growth finance to SMEs from £100k to £500k.
