Over 1,700 technology and innovation experts in Yorkshire will now come together under one roof, following the opening of a £15m hub in Leeds.

Designed by MEPC, the state-of-the-art workspace for Flutter Entertainment comprises 136,000 sq ft of flexible space across eight floors at 4 Wellington Place in Leeds Dock.

It will act as a centre of excellence in technology and innovation for Flutter brands operating in the UK and Ireland, including Sky Betting and Gaming’s (SBG) ‘Skills Academy’, which provides early-career opportunities, and a self-funded Kickstart scheme for those from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The Skills Academy also offers selected graduates a fully funded MSc in Digital and Technology Solutions from Sheffield Hallam University while they gain in-house experience working with technology teams across the business.
