IT services and recruitment consultancy aap3 is to open new US headquarters in Raleigh, North Carolina next month.

The firm already has an established US office in San José, California, and says that the new opening means it can offer 24/7 client support to customers, which include blue chip names such as Cisco, HSBC and IBM, across the globe.

The company may be familiar to those in the UK as shirt sponsor of Southampton Football Club.
