Agilisys creates another 30 new jobs at their Customer Services Centre in Barrow-in-Furness

Agilisys, the UK’s most innovative IT and business process service provider, today announced that it is to bring a further 30 new jobs to the Cumbria region in their Barrow-in-Furness customer services centre. This news comes only weeks following the announcement that Agilisys had recently brought 55 new jobs to the area.

This is fantastic news for the region as Agilisys is working to actively recruit people from diverse backgrounds and social groups by working within the local community in Barrow to offer pre-employment training with Furness College, so that candidates who have been out of work for extended periods can retrain to work within the Barrow Customer Services Centre.

Agilisys’ Customer Services operations in Barrow-in-Furness and Rochdale support both public and private sector clients with a range of inbound and outbound customer services. The Barrow-in-Furness centre was established in late 2005 following a successful bid by Cumbria County Council and Agilisys to provide the Office of Fair Trading’s (OFT) Consumer Direct Northwest service.

Agilisys and Cumbria County Council entered into a 7-year partnership in 2005 as a result of the Council’s vision to provide improved services to citizens through innovative and efficient means. Agilisys provides a full range of ICT, transformation and customer services to the Council in addition to the benefits brought to the region as a whole through job creation.

Kay Andrews, Agilisys CEO commented, “I’m delighted that we are able to bring continued growth and job creation to Barrow. This announcement is on the heels of the news just weeks ago that we had recently created 55 jobs. Our continued success in Barrow is testament to the quality of services we are able to deliver for our clients with a great group of people, we are fortunate to have an outstanding team.”

Anne McKinnell from Jobcentre Plus concluded: “Jobcentre Plus has worked closely with Agilisys since they came to Barrow and established a partnership which has helped a large number of people into employment. A company like Agilisys successfully locating in Barrow and recruiting the right calibre of staff should influence other employers to follow them.”
