Glitnor Group announces move to Sliema’s iconic Villino Zammit
iGaming innovator relocates to famous Maltese landmark and reveals progressive new working policy for team members heading into 2022
Glitnor Group, the hugely successful iGaming company that counts Lucky Casino, Gambola and Swintt among its prestigious list of brands, has announced that the relocation of its workforce to Malta’s iconic Villino Zammit was successfully completed earlier this month.
One of the most beautiful buildings in Sliema, Villino Zammit, was built in the late 19th century by philanthropist Alfonso Maria Galea and his brother in-law Agostino Borg Cardona, and became famous in the iGaming industry by being a home of previous iGaming companies for the past few years.
Far from being a mere cosmetic change, however, Glitnor Group has announced that its move to the attractive new setting is also be accompanied by a fresh new attitude towards working – with a number of progressive initiatives being introduced to help team members enjoy a better work-life balance.
The introduction of the new working policy is certainly in keeping with Glitnor Group’s progressive attitude towards operating in iGaming, with the company making a number of shrewd moves in recent times to ensure triple digit year-on-year growth since 2018, despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
With a team of over 200 members across multiple countries, Glitnor Group boasts a strong portfolio of brands within the Asian and European casino markets, including Gambola and Lucky Casino – the latter of which was presented with the title ‘Rising Star in Casino’ at the SBC Awards 2021 thank to its success as the fastest growing B2C brand in Sweden with over 180% YoY growth.
The group’s B2B brand, Swintt, meanwhile, is one of the industry’s most sought-after software providers and has enjoyed exponential growth in the past 18 months. Now offering premium slots, live dealer and casino games to operators in Malta, Sweden and many other popular gaming jurisdictions, Swintt has been one of the success stories of 2021 and continues to expand its catalogue of titles each month.
With Glitnor Group starting the year in style with its ambitious relocation, progressive working policy and two brands being recognised at the SBC Awards, these are undoubtedly exciting times for the company – and the team is very much looking forward to keeping this momentum throughout 2022.
David Flynn, Chief Executive Officer at Glitnor Group said: “At Glitnor Group, we thrive by doing things differently – and by moving our team members to a truly unique setting in Malta’s Villino Zammit and providing them with a progressive new working policy, we’re ready to continue bucking the trend in 2022.
“We believe our new location and initiatives are a fitting ‘thank you’ to our team members for helping us achieve what has been a remarkable couple of years for the company. With a flexible approach to office hours and a striking creative space to work from, the group has confirmed its position as one of the top employers in the industry and we look forward to enjoying further growth in the New Year.”
