Argos has opened new offices next to Victoria station in a move to attract developers to the ‘digital hub’.

The new offices will cater to flexible working practices and will seek to take advantage of the East End start-up scene.

The retailer is looking for developers, designers, testers and product managers as part of the company’s attempts to attract new talent.

The move comes as Argos seeks to capitalise on online services and cater to online markets which account for 46 per cent of Argos’ total revenues, as high street stores are reduced in number.
