Global BPO firm arvato has expanded services to the Philippines with the creation of a new site to the North of Manila.

The new site comes as arvato plans to double the size of its workforce in the region over the next three years.

The new site will provide increased capacity for current and existing clients with English-speaking support for support services aimed at North America.

The new site is expected to employ 500 workers by the end of 2014, with the site region selected due to the abundance of young, high-skilled workers.

Fara Haron, arvato Executive Vice President said: “The Philippines is a key strategic location for arvato, providing the skilled employees and secure infrastructure we need to deliver best practice BPO and CRM frameworks for leading global organizations”.
