Social media giant Facebook is set to hire an extra 500 workers in the UK when it opens a new headquarters in London, effectively increasing its UK workforce by 50 per cent.

Facebook will open its new office, which is currently under construction in Fitzrovia – near the West End, next year

Nicola Mendelsohn, Facebook’s European head, commented: “The UK remains one of the best places to be a tech company and is an important part of Facebook’s story. We came to London in 2007 with just a handful of people. By the end of next year, we will have opened a new HQ and plan to employ 1,500 people.”
