Wipro Boosts Expansion Into The UK As Part Of European Drive Indian outsourcing giant Wipro is expanding its operations in the UK, creating 500 new jobs in the process. Wipro revealed its expansion plans during Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown's visit to India last week. The company already has a 2,000-strong UK workforce and will increase the headcount by 500 in 2007 at its existing facilities in Reading and new sites in lower cost parts of the UK, including Birmingham. Kees Ten Nijenhuis, European senior VP at Wipro, believes that as the company starts offering higher value services to UK customers it needs more local experience and will be looking for centres that are cheaper than Reading and near to a university. Beginning with 100 to 200 the company intends to scale up to 500. The Wipro decision is part of a trend for the Indian IT company to expand their European operations as they try to become true multinational corporations. Tata Consultancy Services has more than 3,000 staff in the UK.
