Deloitte has today announced four new technology delivery centres dedicated to providing leading-edge technology enabled business solutions to clients across the UK.
The technology centres, part of Deloitte’s Technology & Transformation business, will be operational from 1st June 2025 in strategic growth locations in Belfast, Cardiff, Manchester, and Newcastle.
The centres will initially bring together 750 of the firm’s existing highly skilled technologists to design, build and run technology solutions that address the evolving needs of UK businesses. This will include designing apps, cloud engineering, and embedding AI into software, devices or systems such as SAP, helping clients to transform their businesses.
Alongside investment in people and skills, Deloitte’s technology centres are expected to grow and double the number of people to 1,500 in the next three years. Multi-year technical training programmes will progress new joiners to become world-class business solutions and technology delivery experts.
Anil Gupta, Practice Senior Partner for Yorkshire and the North East at Deloitte, said: “I’m very proud of our investment in Newcastle. It’s a significant step in establishing a thriving technology centre in the North East and reinforces Deloitte’s commitment to this dynamic region.
“As businesses reimagine themselves in the face of huge changes in technology, our dedicated technology centres represent a significant milestone in how we better serve our clients, delivering leading-edge solutions that are fit for the future. We’re dedicated to fostering local talent and building digital skills that empower businesses to navigate the evolving technological landscape.
“This investment demonstrates our confidence in Newcastle’s potential as a centre for innovation and our ambition to be the leading professional services firm driving digital transformation in the region. We’re not just creating a technology centre, we’re building careers and investing in the future of Newcastle and the North East.”
The announcement was made today in Belfast by senior partner and CEO of Deloitte UK, Richard Houston, alongside Northern Ireland’s First Minister, Michelle O’Neill, and deputy First Minister, Emma Little-Pengelly.
Richard Bray, Managing Partner, Regions, at Deloitte added: “Investing across the UK is a priority for Deloitte, and our technology centres are key to this ongoing commitment. I’m particularly excited about the opportunities these centres create for people wanting to start a new career in technology.
“We chose the North East as the pilot last year, initially hiring in a 25-strong cohort from a diverse pool of over 500 applicants – including individuals without prior technology experience, veterans, and those returning to work after a career break. We’ve since further grown the headcount to 40 people and our intention is to at least double this over the next three years.
“I look forward to welcoming many more talented individuals to Deloitte as we grow our business throughout the UK and create jobs for the future.”
Cllr Dan Greenhough, Cabinet Member for Economy, Jobs & Skills, Newcastle City Council, said: “Deloitte’s decision to expand its operations and establish a technology delivery centre in Newcastle recognises the incredible talent, ambition and innovation we have in our city.
“This investment will not only bring high-quality careers to local people but also further position Newcastle as a national hub for digital transformation.”
