Ceridian is to create 300 new jobs near Glasgow over the next five years, the provider of payroll and HR outsourcing services has announced.

The launch of the firm’s new purpose-built, hi-tech office in Braehead, near Glasgow, represents a total investment of over £16m, which was supported by a substantial contribution from the Scottish government through Scottish Enterprise. 

The HR Shared Serviced Centre currently houses more than 300 Ceridian staff and has room to accommodate around 600. 

Doug Sawers, managing director, Ceridian UK, says: “We anticipate creating up to 300 new jobs in the Glasgow area alone. The vacancies we expect to fill will comprise a mixture of IT development, client solutioning, business services and service innovation positions, coupled with operational service delivery roles including multi-lingual capability.”
