Google to create 3,000 more UK jobs

Wednesday, 16 November 2016 11:54

US tech giant Google on Tuesday announced its plans to expand its London campus, and add 3,000 more jobs. Google plans to open a new 10-storey office near London's King's Cross train station. It will be their first wholly owned and designed building outside America. It is estimated that the total Google staff in UK will touch 7,000. There's, however, no date given for the opening of the newly-announced third office. This will be a major boost to Britain’s technology sector after UK's vote to leave the EU.
