Hexaware Announces £25 Million Investment to Expand UK Footprint
Hexaware Technologies Ltd (NSE: HEXT) disclosed on 18 June 2026 that it will allocate £25 million to broaden its United Kingdom operations. The plan includes establishing new research and development centres in Manchester and Leeds and enlarging its existing delivery centre in Birmingham.
The company projects that the expansion will generate roughly 1,200 new jobs over a three‑to‑five‑year horizon, with staffing spread across the three sites. This commitment was highlighted among the UK Government’s announcements at the G7 Summit held on 16 June 2026, aligning with the government’s broader AI and clean‑energy agenda.
CEO and Executive Director R. Srikrishna stated that Hexaware has operated in the UK for more than three decades and that the investment aims to develop young talent, leverage unique public datasets, and collaborate with government bodies to deliver AI‑driven citizen services and digital innovation. Executive Vice President and Head of UK & Europe, Parameshwaran (Param) Iyer, added that the UK is one of Hexaware’s fastest‑growing markets and that on‑ground research and delivery capabilities will enable the firm to build solutions alongside its clients rather than for them.
The United Kingdom represents Hexaware’s second‑largest global market and its fastest‑growing geography; the company opened its UK headquarters in London’s Canary Wharf in 2025. The announced investment targets emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, digital services, and quantum computing, with an emphasis on talent incubation and modernization of public services.
