MGt, the UK’s leading support services provider to the digital TV and broadcast industry, has opened its new office in the JSPB two building to serve its growing customer base.

The business has experienced consistent growth since its foundation in 1998. In Gordon Brown’s recent visit to the company he recognised MGt as a major contributor to the Scottish economy and a key player in supporting the growth of the UK’s digital TV industry, which is leading Europe.

The expansion to new offices will create in excess of 200 jobs, strengthening its position as the largest private sector employer in Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath. The company currently employs 1,200 staff across six locations within the UK and has an annual turnover of more than £16million.

In total, MGt is investing in excess of £9million to acquire and fit out new premises in the John Smith Business Park, and to acquire its existing corporate head office at Cluny Court. The project is being funded by the Bank of Scotland Corporate Fife and a Regional Selective Assistance grant of £1.1m from the Scottish Executive. Together the two premises comprise over 60,000 sqft of high quality office accommodation.

Broadcast clients such as Sky, Freeview, NTL, Top Up TV, Discovery Networks, Sony Entertainment, Setanta Sports and Zee rely on MGt’s expertise to look after their subscription management and viewer relationships. The company manages the entire customer lifecycle on behalf of clients from acquisition and fulfilment to connection and payment .
