17th January, 2024: InvesTT is pleased to announce the establishment of Teleperformance (TP) Trinidad and Tobago’s first physical operating space at 12-16, London Street, Port of Spain. The new facility was established by the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) provider to serve its regional and international clients within the Telecommunications and Fintech industries.
In 2022 Teleperformance launched its 84th global location in Trinidad and Tobago with a remote work model and currently provides 250 jobs on the local market, with the aim to reach 300 by end of January 2024. Attending the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new facility were Senator the Honourable Paula Gopee-Scoon, Minister of Trade and Industry and President, InvesTT, Sekou Alleyne. Also present was the Chief Executive Officer of one of TP’s newest clients, a US-based Fintech company, who was impressed by the facility and the talent pool in Trinidad.
In her brief remarks the Honourable Minister expressed her ministry’s support to the operation and thanked InvesTT for their contribution in encouraging TP to select Trinidad and Tobago for their business.
Sekou Alleyne noted “I am excited for the opportunity to work with TP. We are happy for the opportunity to prove that we have what it takes in Trinidad and Tobago’s services sector to make this investment a success. We have the infrastructure, time zone and cultural affinity. But the labour pool is the most important asset. We are pleased that all the data we shared about our human capital with TP have been proven true by their employees in Trinidad. It is a sector that is growing in leaps and bounds and we look forward to its continued expansion.”
