New headquarters for TomTom

TomTom GO owners can rest assured: things are going very well with their favourite navigational solution. So well even that the location at the Spuistraat had rapidly become too crowded to remain comfortable for the so fast-growing TomTom staff.

So the hunt for a new and especially roomier location began, and, as we've reported earlier, was found at the Rembrandtsquare in the Dutch capital Amsterdam.

Customer Support

The fastest growing TomTom department is without a doubt the Customer Support. You know, the place where all the men and women reside that respond to all your telephone calls and e-mails. And there are a LOT of those: currently about 30.000 e-mails and 10.000 telephone calls a month! To be able to tackle all those questions with success, there are currently 44 support employees and that number just keeps on growing. To give you an idea: not even a year ago there were 'only' 15 support employees!

But besides the support department, all other departments experienced a growth as well so TomTom ran out of space very quickly: they needed to go out on a hunt for a bigger location. That hunt didn't take long and now all the 190 TomTom employees have found a new home in the beautiful new office building located at the Rembrandtsquare. It's very big, so TomTom doesn't have to worry about the side effects of expansion for quite a while to come...
