Game-changing moment as Agilisys makes Wigan its new HQ

With a workforce of over 300 specialists, Agilisys has worked as a trusted digital partner with more than 120 local authorities across the country, and after almost three decades in the capital, has decided to move its main base to the repurposed Civic building in Wigan town centre.

Wigan Councillor Nazia Rehman, portfolio holder for Finance, Resources, and Transformation, said: “As Wigan Council is looking to be at the forefront of advances in digital and AI technologies, the relocation of Agilisys is a game-changing moment as it highlights the type of innovative and forward-thinking companies that want to come and work here.

“Following the impressive revival of the old Civic Building, which encouraged Agilisys to relocate their operations, this is an exciting sign of things to come with various other regeneration projects in the pipeline across the town centre.”

Agilisys CEO, Nigel Muirhead, said "I'm delighted that we're relocating our head office to Wigan - we have a long-standing presence in Wigan, Greater Manchester and the North West, and see this as one of the most innovative regions in the country to be located in, with access to great people and ambitious public sector organisations like Wigan that want to truly transform how they deliver services."

Charles Mindenhall, said "Agilisys has been working in Wigan for the past ten years, and now we feel it is the perfect time to move our national HQ from London up to the north west and into Wigan.

"With digital and AI technologies helping to transform services, it's an incredibly exciting time for the council and Agilisys, and we're really looking forward to continue our great work in this impressively repurposed Civic building.

"This move will help us continue to grow and deliver for residents not just in Wigan Borough, but across the country as well."
