Facebook's Parse to build team in London

Parse announced Thursday that the company is expanding across the pond and building a team in London. Since being acquired by Facebook last year, Parse has grown by more than 250 percent. More than 140,000 new developers started building mobile apps on Parse over the past year, with half of them coming from Europe, Middle East and Africa. The new London Parse team will support these developers.

Parse CEO Ilya Sukhar announced the news in a blog post:

The Parse London team will be based out of the Facebook London office, which is moving to a beautiful new location in central London in early June.
