Facebook plans to add 1,000 new jobs in the UK this year, with more than half of this focused on technology.
The new jobs come ahead of Facebook's planned opening of its new office premises in King's Cross, London next year. It will take the social media giant's total employee count in the UK to more than 4,000 by the end of this year.
An announcement regarding the new jobs is expected to be made by Facebook's Chief Operating officer Sheryl Sandberg later on Tuesday, before she travels to Davos for the World Economic Forum.
