The Gdansk office, which opened on Tuesday, has 200 employees but their number will grow by 400 by the end of 2016. It is the company's second office in Poland. The first one, located in Krakow (southern Poland), employs over 2,500 people.
State Street Bank Polska managing director Scott Newman confirmed that the Gdansk office had already hired 200 employees and planned to increase the current employment to 600 by the end of the year. According to Newman, in the coming two-three years the Gdansk office's employment can reach 1,200 people.
Newman stressed that the company decided to open its second office in Gdansk because of the city's attractiveness. He added that State Street knew that Gdansk met the criteria and that experienced employees would be happy to move to the city from all over Poland and even from other countries.
State Street Corporation CEO Joseph Hooley added that in future the Gdansk office could reach the employment of the Krakow office. With 2,700 employees in Poland, State Street offers services to 11 of the company's branch offices in nine European countries.
State Street is the second oldest American financial services institution and employs almost 30,000 people in 29 countries worldwide. (PAP)
