EE To Create 300 Jobs In Wales & North East England

EE, the digital communications company behind the T-Mobile and Orange mobile phone brands, is set to create 300 new jobs in Wales and the north east of England as it expands its operations nationwide.

The new Welsh jobs will be at Merthyr Tydfil and the positions in the North East will be split between Tyneside and Darlington. The company has also pledged to take on 500 young people before the end of 2015.

EE (formerly Everything Everywhere), which has over 25 million customers and provides jobs for more than 15,000 members of staff, will take on 200 apprentices and full time staff in Wales and around another 100 in the North East. Currently, the firm employs around 2,000 people in Darlington alone.

New full or part time positions at call centres include customer service representatives and staff to boost the sales force. Recruitment will get underway this month for some of the vacancies on offer.

Speaking about the new EE positions in Merthyr Tydfil, Dr Kath Ringwald of the University of Wales’ business school, said: “The significance of the apprenticeships is that it signifies that these are jobs that are going to endure and go on in the longer term and will offer some good training and security in the longer term.”

The company’s head of customer services, Francoise Clemes, said the new jobs they were creating would be a huge boost to the Welsh town and local councillor Dai Havard added that the announcement was a vote of confidence in Merthyr Tydfil.
