Councillor Graeme Miller, leader at Sunderland City Council said:
“We at Sunderland Council are ecstatic to launch the North East Contact Centre Awards. Contact centres have proved to be a resilient part of the region’s economy and together they employ tens of thousands of people. It is over 20 years since they first emerged as a significant part of the North East employment scene and thanks to the ability of the workforce to embrace new technology and respond effectively to consumer preferences, they have evolved constantly.”
Mark Brannen of BGL Group, previous winners of Best Contact Centre over 250 Seats, added:
