PressEnter Group visited by Minister in new office
Operator of leading online casino brands such as 21.com grows at pace in new Sliema office
PressEnter Group, the thriving operator of popular online casino brands, has moved into its new office in Malta with Silvio Schembri, Minister for the Economy, EU Funds and Land, unveiling a special plaque to mark the occasion.
The PressEnter Group offices now occupy six floors of a state-of-the-art building located in Sliema with beautiful views over Valletta. The space has been designed to provide a collaborative working environment so that team members can achieve their full potential.
The move comes after a period of incredible growth for the organisation with its workforce quadrupling between 2020 and 2021 and with profits tripling during the same period. The Group then doubled its workforce again from 2021 to 2022.
With tremendous momentum behind the business, PressEnter Group expects to continue to grow its team as it launches new brands and enters additional regulated markets around the world.
Lahcene Merzoug, Chief Executive Officer at PressEnter Group, said: “Our people are just as important as the online casino experiences we offer our players and we absolutely want to provide them with an office environment that allows them to succeed.
“There has been a huge amount of work put into making this a creative and collaborative office space, where our talent can strike the right balance between work and play.
“I would also like to thank Minister Schembri for taking the time to officially open our new headquarters and for the ongoing support that Malta provides to our organisation. Without this, we would not be the top tier online casino operator that we are today.”
