Marvin OnumonuDeloitte is set to create hundreds of jobs with four new technology delivery centres opening across the UK.
The centres, part of the firm’s technology and transformation business, will start operating on 1st June 2025 in Belfast, Cardiff, Manchester and Newcastle.
The centres will bring together 750 existing staff, with plans to double headcount to 1,500 within three years.
These teams will work on tasks like app design, cloud engineering, and using artificial intelligence (AI) in software and systems including SAP.
Deloitte will also run multi-year technical training programmes for new staff.
Rob Cullen, managing partner for technology & transformation at Deloitte UK, said: “This new venture reinforces our focus on being the undisputed leader in business transformation and technology, our commitment to digital skills and regional growth, as well as our support to the UK’s wider ambition to be a global technology leader.
“As businesses reimagine themselves in the face of huge changes in technology, our dedicated technology centres represent a significant milestone in how we better serve our clients, delivering leading-edge solutions that are fit for the future.
“This investment accelerates our ambition to become the largest onshore technology capability in the UK.”
Cullen added: “I’m hugely excited about the investment we’re making in our technologists and delivery specialists here in the UK.
“Our centres will be a magnet for the best technology talent, offering rewarding careers at the forefront of innovation.”
Richard Bray, managing partner, regions, at Deloitte, said: “Investing across the UK is a priority for Deloitte, and our technology centres are key to this ongoing commitment.
“I’m particularly excited about the opportunities these centres create for people wanting to start a new career in technology.
“We chose the North East as the pilot last year, initially hiring in a 25-strong cohort from a diverse pool of over 500 applicants – including individuals without prior technology experience, veterans, and those returning to work after a career break.”
Bray added: “We’ve since grown further in the North East and I look forward to welcoming many more talented individuals to Deloitte as we grow our business throughout the UK and create jobs for the future.”
