Just announced internally at VM as well, bad news day indeed.

I know a girl who has been given Gardening Leave from the Bellshill centre, dunno if that is signs of maybe cut backs there also.

Sad news indeed :(

l am afraid a lot of good people are going to lose their jobs in the next 12 months.

Re: Virgin Media Trowbridge call centre to close?
 

Bad news, of course, for those it affects. Really wish they'd close the overseas ones and bring all their call centres back into the UK but I don't suppose that's ever going to happen :(

This is not the first one they've closed either, I don't think; is it?

Thats going to be another really bad end user experience for people on vm then, with the offshore support being one of the most off putting things ever to grace vm i expect this to come back and bite them on the bum in the future.
Sorry to hear of those job losses.

Yes l have to totally agree with you on that one as when l have talked to a overseas call centre they cannot understand anything you say to them and l cannot understand their words when they are speaking.

So Virgin are going to add to the UK Unemployment figures some much for the government claiming that the Private Sector will provide the jobs.

Perhaps instead of closing Trowbridge, they should look at closing overseas call centres which are much detested by customers for their lack of customer service.

Trowbridge is a Virgin Mobile call centre as per the link below but still a loss.

Why not close overseas call centre and keep UK ones open, seems like Virgin Media/Mobile have little respect for their UK workforce.

Re: Virgin Media Trowbridge call centre to close?
 

I think it's a matter of cost; and always has been. Overseas CCs are cheaper to run.

They don't have to pay for as many tech visits either, as the Indian call centre just fobs you off when you have signal level problems. Took me 5 attempts to get through to the UK and straight away they saw my signal levels were too high and sent someone out the following morning and it hasn't disconnected since.

That's annoying, I've always found Virgin Mobile's call centre to be top notch. Bah.
