Professional services group Accenture is creating a new regional hub in Birmingham city centre. The company is also launching a fresh recruitment drive to add to its team already based in Norfolk House, Smallbrook Queensway, as part of wider plans to hire 1,500 staff outside of London and the South East by 2024.
This new hub adds to Accenture's existing operations across the UK, with hubs in Scotland, the North West, North East, Yorkshire and the South East. Accenture is a global group headquartered in Dublin which specialises in IT services and consulting.
Over the past two years, it has grown its foothold in the Midlands by acquiring a trio of businesses based in the region - retail technology and supply chain consultancy REPL Group, IT services company Edenhouse and customer experience specialist Spark44.
