Facebook (FB.O)
said it would expand its UK presence by 50 percent in 2017, joining U.S.
technology peer Google (GOOGL.O)
in boosting investment in Britain despite the
uncertainty sparked by the vote
to leave the European Union.
Social network
firm Facebook said it would hire 500 new staff, adding to the 1,000 people it
already employs in Britain, as it gears up to open a new headquarters in London
next year.
Before the
Brexit referendum in June, pro-Remain campaigners had warned that international
companies could seek to reduce their presence in Britain as withdrawing from
the EU would make it a less attractive place to invest.
