Televerde, the global
sales and marketing solutions provider, based in Phoenix, Arizona,
has selected Glasgow as its European headquarters and contact
centre.
From Glasgow, Televerde will provide international expansion
capabilities for its current clients, while enabling companies
based in Europe to accelerate revenue, through proven demand
generation and inside sales expertise and solutions. Televerde
is expanding its reach at a time when companies around the globe
are facing ever-changing, complex technologies in marketing
automation, big data analytics and CRM.
Glasgow was chosen specifically as Televerde's European
launching pad based on its multilingual talent and its geographic
proximity between the U.S. and Europe. Over the next 12-24
months, Televerde will hire up to 170 employees, including
approximately 130 multilinguists who, between them will deliver
language capabilities in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish,
Portuguese, Scandinavian and Eastern European languages.
The company has worked closely with Scottish Development
International and Invest
Glasgow in identifying Glasgow as their preferred location and
their investment is supported by £670k of Regional Selective
Assistance.
James Hooker, Chief Executive Officer, Televerde, said, "We have
chosen Glasgow as our European headquarters in large part because
of the strong and motivated talent in the city".
