In the next few months Babel Media plans to increase its operational capability in Canada & India. Babel already delivers the majority of services from these facilities and as part of this growth plan a number of functions currently being based in its UK facility will be reviewed for potential relocation.

Richard Leinfellner CEO of Babel Media commented “With a growing number of Babel’s clients centralising their development services in the US and Canada, Babel will expand its Montreal based teams to work alongside them in the same time zone. It’s quite staggering to see Montreal becoming a major interactive entertainment hub in such short time, this realignment of Babel’s resources reflects the cities growing “Canadian Hollywood” status.”

Keith Russell, VP of Sales and Marketing adds “As a premier service provider we continuously focus on delivering excellence in quality and flexibility resulting in reducing time to market and costs for our clients; this proposed reorganisation would allow us to continue this endeavour.”

Babel is currently in consultation with potentially affected staff in its UK operation with a view to avoiding or mitigating any potential impact which could result from the proposed restructure.
