bet365, the premier online gambling company in the UK, has set out an ambitious technology team expansion at Manchester base. The headcount will be increased from 200 to 300 people. To the initiative is to grow its tech team by adding new positions for graduates from the University of Manchester and to infrastructure jobs.
After the expansion, the tech team is to occupy the fifth floor at the gambling operator’s base at Spring Gardens-located Zenith building.
Bet365’s boss of Systems Development in Manchester, Warren Hughes, explained that the city is considered a competitive marketplace, which allows developers to often move from one company to another. Mr. Hughes revealed that the expansion of the team is set to be in line with the latest demands of the business, which on the other hand is crucial to ensuring the longevity of the company as a leading entity in the local and global gambling sector.
This is not the first time when bet365 has expanded its Manchester team. Since the company set up in the city two years ago, it has employed almost 200 software developers and testers to help the project delivery support at its major tech hub situated in Stoke-on-Trent.
Now, the Manchester department is expected to generate further growth, as the leading gambling operator is planning to add more people to support some new projects. Once being established as an office to supporting the main software development team in Stoke-on-Trent, the Manchester office has now started to recruit new people at infrastructure positions.
Recently, bet365 denied rumours for possible Gibraltar operations’ relocation to Malta. According to rumours and media reports, the decision for Britain’s exit from the European Union (BREXIT) has pushed the leading online gambling operator to plans for the move.
