Accounting firm KPMG is expanding its Manchester presence with extra tech workers and a revamped office space with meetings at its core.
The company will spend £5.5 million ($6.6 million) on redesigning its office in the English city with an emphasis on tools and space for teamwork, KPMG said in a statement on Monday. The plan includes launching a 25,000 square-foot hub next spring for its tech-focused Ignition program, which helps staff collaborate in dozens of cities globally.
