Infosys to hire 1,000 staff in the UK to meet digital growth surge

An Indian company says it is to hire 1,000 new staff in the UK to help it meet a surge in demand for digital services.

Infosys, the listed software exporter, said it would ramp up its UK presence over the next three years in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis.

It explained that the pandemic had "exacerbated" the need for digital skills and infrastructure, such as cloud technology, as businesses continue to adapt to new ways of working following over a year of disruption.
