Microgaming is building on recent growth by constructing a new office adjacent to its current headquarters in Douglas on the Isle of Man.
The new five-storey office building - shown on the right in the image - will sit adjacent to Microgaming’s existing office, MGS House. The two buildings will be linked by an overhead walkway. Roger Raatgever, CEO of Microgaming, said: “Since we set up our global head office on the Isle of Man in 2001, we have grown at an incredible rate.
“We now have more than 160 people in our building here on the island, and we expect this number to grow significantly over the next few years.
“The establishment of a new building not only shows our commitment to the island, but our commitment to look after our staff, to create an office environment that is employee-focused, suited to our fun and energetic culture, and that fosters innovation and creativity,” said Raatgever.
Construction officially started on April 7 and the new building is expected to be completed in 2017.
Raatgever added: “We were adamant that this project should support local businesses; wherever possible, Manx workers are being utilised. It’s a huge local project that is anticipated to take around two years to complete.
“We are doing everything we can to minimise disruption in the area and we’d like to thank everyone for their ongoing support whilst we build our future on the island.”
