Orange - The futures bright but not at their Bristol Contact Centre

It has been announced that Mobile phone company Orange is to close their Bristol operation with the loss of up to 300 jobs.

An spokesperson fort Orange commented, "As part of our strategy to improve, grow and evolve the company, we are continually looking at ways to ensure we are operating in the most efficient way. As such, we have been reviewing our building strategy and are proposing not to renew the lease for Keypoint, one building on our office campus in Bristol.

The affected staff will be relocated to other Orange buildings in Bristol, relevant to the division of the business they work for. "However, with no other 'service operation' in Bristol, staff from that division will be offered an opportunity to apply for work and a relocation package in our other service centres across the UK.

"For those service employees who do not wish to seek roles elsewhere in the business, redundancy packages will be available and employees will receive full support in finding alternative work."
