Interactive Investor, the UK's leading community of traders and
investors, is expanding its presence in Glasgow.
The London based company has confirmed plans to add a further
ten people to its existing team of 40, based at West Nile St in the
IFSD.
Interactive Investor's Glasgow office is focused on supporting
its share dealing brands, www.iii.co.uk and www.shareprice.co.uk which
provide financial information on-line and via mobile applications
to tens of thousands of UK investors. The company says the
site is attracting a new generation of share buyers and estimates
around 30% of trades are now carried out on mobile devices.
Confirming that the company's expansion plans had been supported
by SDI, Douglas Boyce, director, Interactive Investor, said, "We
picked Glasgow because it has become a centre of excellence for
financial services administration. Glasgow met our needs,
particularly in quality experienced staff."
With over 8 million unique users every year, the original site
was founded in 1995. It is owned by Interactive Investor Plc,
a privately owned group established to provide services that allow
private individuals to take control of their financial
affairs. The group also publishes Moneywise Magazine and
Money Observer and their websites.
