12-month project to grow tech hub
Sky Betting and Gaming has announced big plans for its SkyBet resort in Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK. An £11 million (US$16 million) expansion project will install a new customer hub in Leeds City Center and expand the resort’s technology hub at the Electric Works in Sheffield, the firm announced in a release.
The project is expected to be complete in about a year.
“With the business performing well, we have decided that now is the time to significantly increase our investment in people and facilities,” said Chief Executive Richard Flint in the statement. “This is a vote of confidence not only in our own plans to make betting and gaming better but also in the health of the Yorkshire economy.”
Leeds City Councillor Judith Blake called the investment “fantastic news for the city and further evidence of Leeds’ strength as a digital hub. We’re delighted that Sky Betting and Gaming continues to invest in job opportunities here and the rest of Yorkshire.”
