HP's Wrocław accounting center to be its largest in Europe

"Global e-Business Operations will provide financial and accounting services for HP's internal needs, and for clients across Poland and Europe," explained Anna Tryc-Bromley, HP's spokeswoman. The Wrocław-based center will be completed within five years. "Currently we are seeking people who speak all the European languages. During the first stage the center will service our settlements across the continent," announced Paweł Panczyj, the head of the unit supporting foreign investments of the Wrocław City Office. The value of the investment amounts to tens of million USD and will create around 1,000 new jobs. "The agreement guarantees that 450 of the hired employees will be people registered as unemployed, mainly university graduates, " added Panczyj. HP has similar centers around the world, but the one in Wrocław will be its largest in Europe. (Puls Biznesu, p. 10) E.B.
