Newfield, the Isle of Man-based eGaming firm, has completed its expansion to another floor of its Douglas office.
The additional area more than doubles the floor space occupied by the firm to almost 10,000 square feet.
The expansion is in response to Newfield’s increasing business and growing staff numbers, with almost 100 people employed in Clarendon House. The extra space will allow Newfield to continue its plans to further strengthen the team through further recruitment.
The offices, with incredible views across Douglas bay, are equipped with top of the range furniture and state of the art technology.
Newfield promotes a relaxed working environment for its team of skilled professionals and provides fully stocked kitchens on both floors, plus ‘chillout zones’ with activities like pool, ping pong and arcade games to help workers unwind.
Isle of Man Minister for the Department of Economic Development Laurence Skelly officially opened the new office floor during a tour of the firm’s premises.
He said: ‘Newfield is another of the Isle of Man’s success stories, quietly growing its business and creating skilled and desirable jobs for the local workforce. More than doubling its office space underlines the rate of growth Newfield is enjoying, and demonstrates the strengths of the Island’s economy as an environment for establishing and expanding business.
‘The Programme for Government offers a commitment to creating an environment that allows businesses to thrive and flourish. We are working hard to provide a full ecosystem where businesses are supported through all their stages of growth and Newfield is a great example of that continued success. The company has exciting plans for further growth and more recruitment, so we look forward to continued success for the company.’
Established in 2011, Newfield is an international racing and sporting events company which utilises an outstanding IT platform and unrivalled expertise to maintain and grow its position as a market leader. The young and enthusiastic team of talented professionals is at the core of the business, driving growth.
Newfield Director Mark Reynolds said: ‘We are delighted to have completed our office expansion, and very pleased to have welcomed Minister Skelly to officially open the new floor. The additional space was necessary to accommodate our growing team as well as to deliver our ambitious plans to further increase our numbers in the coming months.
‘Our team are at the heart of Newfield’s success and their welfare is our priority. Our offices have been designed and styled to create a modern workplace which recognises the importance of a relaxed environment, to create a place people enjoy being with the right balance between work and downtime. This expansion is only part of our ambitious plans; we are stepping up recruitment, have launched a new version of our website, which we would recommend anyone interested in exploring a career with Newfield visits to view the roles available, and have much more in the pipeline’
He added: ‘We are extremely proud that we have created many skilled and high quality jobs to support the local economy, with more than 85% of our team from the Isle of Man, and look forward to providing further opportunities in the future.’
