INTERNET search company Infoserve is marking its first anniversary in its Tees Valley base by launching a recruitment drive for 100 jobs.

The firm, which moved into its headquarters, on Darlington's Morton Palms a year ago, recently signed a contract with Google to make it one of the search engine's advertising partners.

The centre's annual turnover of £6m is expected to increase "dramatically" as a result of the deal. The company said 100 jobs would be created over the next year as a result, with up to 300 more to follow.

Infoserve already has a similar deal in place with Yahoo to allow it to sell sponsored links to UK businesses on the Yahoo Local website.

David Balbi, Infoserve's finance and commercial director, said: "These deals are tremendous news for the company and for the region as a whole, as it will lead to the creation of many new jobs in the area.

"Our sales team has done an excellent job in launching and growing Yahoo Local. In fact, after just three months we were celebrating our 1,000th sale.

"Everyone is now really excited about the Google contract, which we will start working on in the next few weeks.

"Having secured contracts with the world's top two search engines, we are now the number one company for online local search in the UK."
