Capita has announced plans to axe its Tesco Mobile contact centre in Radcliffe. The centre could close its doors as early as September. The proposals have upset employees who have described the plans as a “kick in the teeth” and Metro Mayor Andy Burnham and Bury Council leader Eamonn O’Brien are backing a Communication Workers’ Union (CWU) call to reverse the plans. Under the proposals Capita, say the union, want workers to relocate 35 miles away to Preston Brook, near Warrington. And 25 per cent of staff would have to work from home. Redeployment to other Capita sites is also suggested, with no pay guarantees.
