Telecom company EE to create 200 new jobs in Wales

Mobile operator EE has revealed plans to create up to 200 new jobs at its call centre located in Merthyr Tydfil, a news report in the local media has revealed.

The new positions will involve both permanent and part-time contracts, while an extra 40 apprentices recruited from the Merthyr Tydfil College will also join the business.

Francoise Clemes, EE’s chief of customer service, said: "As well as providing a much-needed jobs boost for an area which has been badly hit by the downturn, the increase in employees at our customer centres reinforces our commitment to providing the best service possible to all EE customers."

Huw Lewis, member of the National Assembly for Wales and Minister for Education said: "I was pleased to visit the EE customer centre here in Merthyr Tydfil recently and to meet with 12 of the new apprentices who were all incredibly enthusiastic about working for the company. Today’s announcement of additional jobs is a welcome boost for Merthyr Tydfil and a sign of the confidence EE rightly has in its Merthyr workforce."
