Simon Williams, CEO of NTT DATA UK, commented: “The UK is competing in a highly competitive global market, but is ideally placed to thrive as an innovation hub for Europe and the rest of the world. Our investment demonstrates an ongoing commitment to the UK market and our confidence that we have some of the best talent and technological innovation in the world. We are ideally positioned to help our UK clients become more agile and succeed in their market”.
Secretary of State for International Trade Dr Liam Fox said: “NTT DATA investment in the UK demonstrates our ability to attract some of the world’s biggest companies, underlining our position as the number one destination for foreign investment in Europe.
NTT DATA, with its roots in Japan, is today a player on a global scale and one of the leading sources of the technology innovation that is driving business growth and productivity across all sectors. Their investment and commitment to the UK is a significant endorsement of the fundamental strength and dynamism of our economy.
