The multinational is investing millions of pounds in a new UK office, to be located in North Tyneside in the North East of England.

This investment will almost double GE Money’s workforce as the company expands its call centre facilities along with sales and management positions.

Committed to UK growth

“This multi-million pound investment represents the biggest investment in property GE Money has ever made, and reinforces our commitment to growth and job creation in the UK,” said Stewart Macphail, chief executive of GE Money Cards UK.

“The new development will create over 400 new jobs - taking our local workforce to over 800 people.”

Success through staff dedication

Rob Willis, company human resources director, added: “The new development will grow Newcastle significantly, and the creation of over 400 jobs demonstrates GE Money's commitment to the area and our current employees.”

“We are very lucky to have talented, enthusiastic and dedicated staff who have helped make our existing Newcastle operation such an overwhelming success.”

The 100,000 sq ft office will be fully operational by June 2008.
