Bank of Valletta has inaugurated new, modern premises for its Gozo Operations Centre.

Speaking during a visit to the new premises in Gorg Borg Olivier Street, Victoria, the bank’s chief officer of operations, Igino Xuereb, said, “These new premises provide our employees with excellent office space and ambience in which to operate, and possibly to further expand our Gozo Operations Centre.”

“We have today quadrupled the size of the centre, with all BOV employees residing in Gozo wishing to work here being given this opportunity,” said Mr. Xuereb.

The BOV Gozo Operations Centre, now in its fifth year of operation, was the first such operation by a local bank in Gozo. It was opened when BOV was implementing its centralisation programme, with a number of bank-wide processes being transferred to the Gozo Operation Centre.

Mr Xuereb said he was pleased to note the high level of motivation of the centre’s employees. He said the bank was pleased with the success of its Gozo Operations Centre which, thanks to the deployment of advanced technology, had effectively created and developed new employment opportunities for the people of Gozo.

Today, BOV employs 75 people who live in Gozo.
