BACOLOD CITY—Ubiquity Global Services, a multinational services organization headquartered in New York, is expanding its presence in Negros Occidental, particularly in Bacolod City, with the growth of their operations center at the Negros First Cyber Centre.
The company is adding a 1,200-square-meter space in June and is expected to further expand into a similarly sized space in the same building before the end of the year. The planned expansion will bring the company’s total office space in the Cyber Centre to nearly 4,000 sq m.
With the signing of several new clients, Ubiquity is increasing its Bacolod work force to approximately 1,500 employees by early 2016.
Ubiquity Founder and President Matthew Nyren signed the expansion of lease agreement with Gov. Alfredo Marañon Jr. in rites held at the Provincial Capitol on Thursday.
Nyren formally announced the expansion plans of Ubiquity in the province, in the presence of Bacolod City Councilor Jocelle Batapa-Sigue, president of Bacolod-Negros Occidental Federation for Information and Communications Technology, Provincial Engineer Ernie Mapa, and members of Ubiquity’s local management team.
“I am excited about today’s announcement and our forthcoming expansion in the Negros First Cyber Centre,” Nyren said.
He added: “This expansion will provide a progressive working space for the creation of nearly 2,000 career opportunities in the region within the next year. The expansion establishes Bacolod as our company’s largest operating location in a growing global network that includes sites in Metro Manila, the US, Latin America and Europe. We look forward to big things for the Bacolod center and our talented colleagues here in Negros province.”
Marañon said he is very happy with the continued expansion of the Ubiquity and looks forward to the additional jobs it will create for the province. He assured Nyren of the provincial government’s support in all initiatives involving the development of human resource for the business-process management industry.
