Jobs go at Avro

SEAT-only operator Avro is in consultation with 57 call centre and customer service staff over moving its Bromley call centre to Stockport.

Avro managing director Andrew Nicholson denied the proposed switch to parent company Cosmos’ Stockport call centre was purely a cost-cutting operation.

He claimed the move would improve the operator’s systems by putting the seat-only operator on the group-wide IT system.

Avro has now entered a 30-day consultation period with 57 staff.

Around 25 sales, commercial product and pricing staff will remain in Bromley.

"It’s regrettable,” he said. "The move makes commercial sense as it moves us on to the group’s single technology platform.”
