Ladbrokes to Cut Call Centre Jobs
November 20, 2009 -- UK Bookmaker will shut down its Aintree call centre with the loss of 263 call centre agent jobs.
Ladbrokes says the closure is a consequence of
competitors who enjoy tax advantages by using offshore call
centres.
A company spokesperson said:
"UK-based telephone-betting operators like Ladbrokes are
being severely impacted by competition from offshore
operators that enjoy significant tax advantages."
