Liz Smith, Scottish Conservative MSP for Mid Scotland & Fife has called on Perth & Kinross Council and the Scottish Government to develop a strategy to maintain Perth as key call centre location.
Liz Smith, Scottish Conservative MSP for Mid Scotland & Fife said:
“Perth has a great reputation as a key location for providing call centre services with key companies including SSE and Aviva employing thousands of people.
“The Perthshire accent is often credited as being one of the most distinct and clearly understood.
“We need to make sure that Perthshire remains competitive and that companies are actively promoted to locate to the area. It is therefore important that Perth & Kinross Council and the Scottish Government develop a strategy to maintain Perth as key call centre location.
“Perthshire has provided the company with first class call centre services over many decades and I strongly believe that there is a bright future for call centre jobs in Perthshire.”
