The broadcaster Sky has moved into a new site in Leeds as a part of a strategy that aims to improve its customer service and create more jobs. The new office in Whitehall Road will house the firm's existing customer service teams, which will be expanded as it creates 500 new customer service roles.
The spokesman said: "Our people at Leeds One will support customers across a range of Sky products and services including Sky Broadband, Sky Mobile and Sky TV.
"The new site builds on Sky's current investment in the city, which includes Sky@Leeds Dock - the home of Sky's tech hub which opened in 2015 as well as the Sky Studio's Innovation Hub, which is focused on the development of talent, scripted partnerships and new content experiences."
The spokesman clarified that although their team will grow in the next coming month, there are likely to be fewer on site in the short to medium terms as the company continues to focus on employees safety during the pandemic.
Speaking last year, Stephen van Rooyen, CEO, UK and Ireland for Sky, said: "Our customers love viewing all their favorite shows in one place with Sky Q so it's great that 500 new Sky engineers will be hitting the roads across the UK to meet growing customer demand.
"Together with our expanded team in Leeds, these 1,000 new employees are a real testament to Sky's commitment to customer service and investment to create a diverse workforce right across the UK."
