800 UK Jobs to be Created by 3

Mobile network 3 will add 380 recruits to its 550 outbound staff located in Glasgow. This will include 340 telesales advisors, along with 40 managers. The company is also launching a £3m revamp of its Scottish offices. Another 400 roles are being created in retail stores and in its Maidenhead office.

“As the UK’s fastest growing mobile company, we are experiencing a surge in demand for smartphones and we’re supporting that with a network that delivers a great internet experience,” said Dave Dyson, chief executive of 3 UK.

“We have ambitious plans for growth and the expanded team in Scotland has a huge role to play in realising them. Glasgow’s can-do attitude has made it a natural choice.”

Scottish Enterprise is providing £1.8m to support the Glasgow expansion. Skills Development Scotland will also fund £270,000 worth of training opportunities.
