An IT services company have announced that they will expand and create new jobs following support by the Welsh Government. ITCS in Bridgend will establish a new headquarters in Wales and double their capacity.
The Welsh Government have provided £350,000 in support through the Economy Future programme which will protect existing jobs and create 60 new ones by 2028. ITCS use artificial intelligence to help organisations automate tasks that are crucial to their business.
The new headquarters will be located on the Waterton Industrial Estate. The facilities there will include a high tech office space, a cyber security operations centre and a training centre. The aim of the company is to work with schools and colleges to encourage students to work in the field as well as providing opportunities for adults to upskill.
In a statement cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning, Rebecca Evans, said:
“Supporting jobs in the industries and services of the future is a priority for this Welsh Government and this project will deliver high quality employment in a part of Wales with a rapidly developing IT cluster.
The investment in this new HQ will provide ITCS with the facilities it needs to prosper, as it pursues innovation, skills development and long-term growth.”
Brian Stokes, Managing Director of ITCS, said:
“These are exciting times for ITCS as we take the next step in our journey of growth. With over 20 years’ experience behind us, we’ve consistently helped organisations transform the way they work, delivering real improvements in productivity and significant cost savings. Our new headquarters will allow us to expand our capacity and provide even greater value for both new and existing clients.
We are extremely grateful to the Welsh Government for their support, which has been instrumental in making this investment possible. We now look forward to welcoming everyone to our new cutting-edge facility to demo and discuss how ITCS can make a real difference to businesses as they embrace AI and the future of technology.”
