The DC company has comprehensive geographical coverage spanning the US, Asia Pacific and Europe. The new office in South Korea is the sixth major addition to Direct Line's global network in recent months, taking the footprint to 12 office locations across 5 countries.

South Korea continues to lead in global digital adoption through its cutting-edge ICT infrastructure and investment in 5G, artificial intelligence, cloud and more.
As the first country in the world to commercialise 5G networks in 2019, today just under half of South Korea's total mobile connections is powered by 5G. The country's public cloud market is also set for growth, expected to show an annual growth rate of 17.18%, resulting in a market volume of US$13.72bn by 2027.
"I am excited that we are taking on the challenge to deliver our trademark services to a new market and have full confidence in our team's ability to deliver results for us in South Korea and make Direct Line the 'go to' partner for all data center ICT infrastructure needs," said Matthew Roberts, general manager for APAC, Direct Line Global.
