A Lanarkshire call centre and outsourcing company have announced huge plans to expand their headquarters in a move that will create 300 jobs.
Acensos, who are based in Motherwell, currently employs over 3000 across its network spanning the UK, Romania, Turkey and South Africa.
Their new premises sits across from their existing HQ in the town and the new office completes the creation of Ascensos’ Motherwell Campus.
John Devlin, chief executive and co-founder of Ascensos, said: “Motherwell is where we first started Ascensos back in 2013 and since then we’ve expanded considerably and opened a range of offices around the world.
"Throughout this continued growth, our headquarters have always remained in Motherwell, so it feels really special to be in a position to grow our premises further with this additional space.
“The new site will create around 300 jobs and we’re delighted to boost the local economy in this way, particularly as so many are still feeling the negative economic impact of the pandemic.”
This news follows a strong year for the company which saw expansion into South Africa as well as a new £3 million investment in a new Ascensos Local hub in Stranraer.
Mr. Devlin said: “The Motherwell expansion will create a variety of roles suitable for people of all ages and with varying degrees of experience, including those who are returning to the job market after a break, or looking to have a complete career change.
“We look forward to strengthening our commitment to Motherwell and the surrounding local area and continuing our story back where it all started for us.”
