Leading global business process outsourcing and customer experience expert Webhelp, is to create 60 jobs with the opening of a new office in Norrköping.

Webhelp Nordic examined several regions before choosing Norrköping as the location for its new office. The city was chosen primarily because of the development opportunities offered by the proximity of local universities as well as the central location of the city, which ensures Webhelp’s customers have easy transportation links to the business.

“I look forward to welcoming new people to our refurbished office in Norrköping and to the Webhelp family, which already has approximately 1,800 people across the Nordic and Baltic countries.”
Pontus Lindblom, Business Director, Norrköping Municipality, said: “It is with great pride that we welcome Webhelp Nordic to Norrköping.We at the Business Office at Norrköping Municipality have had a contact with Webhelp Nordic for some time now and we are very pleased that this has become a reality. Webhelp Nordic is a new player spreading business and development opportunities in our city and region.”

Recruitment has already begun and the office, which is located in centre of the city, will open in June once the renovation of the premises has been completed.
