Online gambling company GVC Holdings has opened a new office in Rome. The company has migrated all its Italian divisions to the new office, which will house around 360 staff of its Eurobet, bwin and Gioco Digitale Italia properties.

Located in the Lungotevere district near Rome’s city centre, the new six-floor (approx. 4200 sqm) office will house all the operational teams, servicing a key European market territory for the FTSE enterprise.

GVC details that its Rome office relocation forms part of its final post-Ladbrokes Coral merger plans, driving operational and co-synergy efficiencies across an enlarged group.

Establishing its new Rome office, GVC management states that its enlarged Italian division will be better maintained within the Lungotevere district, securing access to a better transport network in an “area which is one of the best served in greater Rome.”
