Sixty new tech roles are being created by Wren Kitchens as investment in its state-of-the-art IT facility at its Humber Bank headquarters tops £3 million.

The retailer and manufacturer is continuing to innovate to enhance what it says is world-leading digital support for customers.

An expansion of the 28,000 sq ft tech hub, launched last year, will feature a new hands-on prototype technology area, building on nine video conferencing suites, a cutting-edge IT monitoring centre, a lecture theatre and two dedicated virtual reality studios.

And while the huge investment at The Nest in Barton will prove a major attraction in the recruitment drive - which comes on top of a 100-apprentice addition before the year end - remote working is an option for developers.

Stephen Hodges, head of software development, said: “As we continue to invest in our state-of-the-art tech and world-class facilities, we’re searching for talented developers to come and join us and play a major part in constantly evolving our software and processes.

“From state-of-the-art virtual reality to our cutting edge kitchen planner programme, there’s always something new going on at Wren, and our IT department plays a huge part in bringing these projects to life.”
