Deloitte unveils four new technology delivery centres

Deloitte has today announced four new technology delivery centres dedicated to providing leading-edge technology enabled business solutions to clients across the UK. 

The technology centres, part of Deloitte’s Technology and Transformation business, will be operational from 1 June in strategic growth locations in Belfast, Cardiff, Manchester, and Newcastle. 

The centres will initially bring together 750 of the firm’s existing highly skilled technologists to design, build and run technology solutions that address the evolving needs of UK businesses. 

This will include designing apps, cloud engineering, and embedding AI into software, devices or systems such as SAP, helping clients to transform their businesses.

Alongside investment in people and skills, Deloitte’s technology centres are expected to grow and double the number of people to 1,500 in the next three years. Multi-year technical training programmes will progress new joiners to become world-class business solutions and technology delivery experts.

Rob Cullen, managing partner for Technology and Transformation at Deloitte UK, said: “This new venture reinforces our focus on being the undisputed leader in business transformation and technology, our commitment to digital skills and regional growth, as well as our support to the UK’s wider ambition to be a global technology leader.

“As businesses reimagine themselves in the face of huge changes in technology, our dedicated technology centres represent a significant milestone in how we better serve our clients, delivering leading-edge solutions that are fit for the future.”

He continued: “This investment accelerates our ambition to become the largest onshore technology capability in the UK. I’m hugely excited about the investment we’re making in our technologists and delivery specialists here in the UK. Our centres will be a magnet for the best technology talent, offering rewarding careers at the forefront of innovation.”

Richard Bray, managing partner, regions, at Deloitte, added: “Investing across the UK is a priority for Deloitte, and our technology centres are key to this ongoing commitment. I’m particularly excited about the opportunities these centres create for people wanting to start a new career in technology.

“We chose the North East as the pilot last year, initially hiring in a 25-strong cohort from a diverse pool of over 500 applicants – including individuals without prior technology experience, veterans, and those returning to work after a career break. We’ve since grown further in the North East and I look forward to welcoming many more talented individuals to Deloitte as we grow our business throughout the UK and create jobs for the future.”
