Maidenhead: Blackberry establishes new European headquarters
BlackBerry, the global software leader in securing, connecting and mobilising enterprises, has moved its European headquarters to Maidenhead. The company now occupies three floors of the Pearce Building in the town centre.
Simon Dudley, leader of Windsor and Maidenhead council, said: “Maidenhead is on the move and BlackBerry’s arrival is a great step forward in our vision of achieving the dynamic future the town deserves as we build a borough for everyone.”
Florian Bienvenu, senior vice president of enterprise sales EMEA at BlackBerry, said: “Over the years BlackBerry has remained committed to the UK, not just as a key market globally but also as our gateway to Europe, and Maidenhead is offering us an excellent business environment.”
BlackBerry is the latest big name to come to the town, joining Maersk, Adobe 3, Tesla and Alnylam as well as the retailers opening in Maidenhead – H&M, Smiggle, Pandora and Paperchase.
BlackBerry is going through an exciting transformation and is no longer simply about the smartphone. Its concerns extend to smart containers, medical devices and wearables, consumer appliances and industrial machinery.
