Hexaware To Create 1,200 UK Jobs With £25 Million Expansion Plans

Global technology company Hexaware Technologies has announced plans to invest £25 million in the UK, creating around 1,200 full or part time jobs over the next three to five years.

The expansion will see the company grow its existing operations in Birmingham while opening two new research and development centres in Manchester and Leeds. The new roles are expected to support work in fast-growing fields including artificial intelligence (AI), digital services and quantum computing.

Hexaware said the investment will focus on developing local talent, supporting innovation and helping organisations modernise their technology and public services. The company plans to expand its delivery centre in Birmingham while using the new facilities in Manchester and Leeds to drive research and development in emerging technologies.

The investment was highlighted by the UK Government during the G7 Summit earlier this month as part of a wider package of international commitments supporting Britain's ambitions in AI, technology and clean energy.

For graduates, technology professionals and anyone looking to build careers in digital industries, the expansion is expected to create opportunities across software development, AI, data, digital transformation, research and business services. The investment could also generate additional opportunities through partnerships with universities and local training providers.

Announcing the expansion plans, Srikrishna Ramakarthikeyan, the Chief Executive Officer of Hexaware, said, “Hexaware has worked alongside businesses in the UK for more than three decades. We have very high ambitions for our growth, creating impact in the UK and proudly supporting the Government's inclusive vision for AI.”

“Our investments are focused on developing young talent, working with unique published datasets and collaborating with government at all levels across the country to create a positive impact for the citizens of the UK.”

“These investments in AI research, digital innovation for citizen services and talent incubation will create meaningful social impact while fueling and accelerating the UK's long-term economic growth,” added the CEO.

Param Iyer, the Executive Vice President of Hexaware, also commented, saying: “The UK is one of our fastest-growing markets, and this investment reflects the confidence our clients and the UK Government place in Hexaware. Our UK clients are moving fast on AI and having research and delivery talent on the ground here means we can build with them rather than for them.”

Hexaware opened its UK headquarters at Canary Wharf in London in 2025 and says the latest investment reflects its long-term commitment to growing its presence across the country.

As demand for AI and advanced technology skills continues to increase, the creation of 1,200 new roles by Hexaware represents a significant boost for the UK's digital economy and for any job seekers who are looking to enter one of the country's fastest-growing sectors.
