We deliver bespoke software, independent system testing, integration and AI work — UK-staffed, with named engineers and evidence-ready output.

Why Belfast firms work with Forth

Belfast hosts Citi, Allstate, FinTrU and a deep regulated-services talent pool. We're a small, senior team that ships production-grade software and assurance — not a body-shop consultancy.

What we do for Belfast clients

Bespoke software, independent system testing (UAT, SIT, regression, payments, Open Banking), integration work, legacy modernisation, AI integration and platform engineering — delivered to Belfast-based teams onsite where required.

Industries we serve in Belfast

Banks, payment institutions, fintechs, insurers, asset managers, energy and utilities, transport, councils, NHS boards and industrial operators.

How we engage

Fixed-scope discovery, a 30-day pilot against a real workload, and a continuation engagement with named UK-based engineers. Onsite in Belfast when the work demands it; remote-first otherwise.
