Phone giant to create 150 jobs

Just days after it announced hundreds of job cuts at its Newbury headquarters, mobile phone giant Vodafone says it is creating 2,100 jobs across the country – including 150 in Stoke-on-Trent
The company is expanding existing customer service centres, with 800 jobs in Manchester, almost 150 in Newark and around 100 in Glasgow also being added.
Its third-party customer service partners will create another 600 jobs in Newcastle, nearly 200 roles in the west of Scotland, and 100 in Cardiff.
Nick Jeffery, chief executive of Vodafone UK, said: “These new, skilled roles will make a real difference to our customers and a real difference to the communities that are the focus of our customer services investment.”
Vodafone says the move is part of a three-year, £2bn investment to improve the quality of services for its 18m customers. The group employs around 12,500 people in the UK.
