Facebook to increase UK employees by 50% in 2017
"Many of those new roles will be high-skilled engineering jobs as the UK is home to our largest engineering base outside of the US," said Ms Mendelsohn, who is vice-president for Europe, the Middle East and Africa at Facebook. Engineers at Facebook's London office are continuing the development of Workplace, a platform devised to improve communications between workers within a business, launched last month. There has been speculation following the UK referendum vote to leave the EU that international companies may reconsider investing in the UK. However, Facebook's announcement comes just a week after Google announced a £1bn investment in a new London headquarters and the creation of 3,000 new jobs by 2020. London's mayor, Sadiq Khan welcomed the Facebook news. "Facebook's decision to expand in London is further evidence that London's strength as a tech hub keeps on growing," he said.
