A contact centre firm is to take on 150 new people, it has announced.

ResQ, a privately-owned UK contact centre business, is looking to recruit the staff to join its site in Seaham.

ResQ, establishe­d in 2006, employs 1,000 staff in Hull and bosses say it has enjoyed significan­t year-onyear growth.

It opened its second centre in Seaham two years ago as part of its expansion strategy. Already with more than 300 staff there, ResQ is the town’s largest employer.

Working on behalf of well-known FTSE 100 brands, ResQ is looking to fill a number of vacancies in sales and sales management.

Lee Candler, general manager of ResQ at Seaham, said: “We are delighted to be bringing so many new jobs to the region.

“I have been here since we set up in Seaham and I am so proud of what we have achieved in so little time.

“We have some really big names that we work for who are giving us more work, but also we are seeing some exciting new names who are outsourcin­g to us.

“We are big advocates of the region and proud to be contributi­ng to the employment market in such a significan­t way.”

Gill Marchbank, chief operating officer for ResQ, added: “Our business has been built on a strong set of values and we have created innovative technology and great environmen­ts for people to work and prosper.

“It is thanks to this that we have a team of like-minded people, who are proud to be part of and share in our success.

“We work tirelessly to make sure that our people and clients see the true benefits of working with us and this is clearly paying off.”

ResQ launches hopes to have all the vacancies filled by May. For more details call 0191 671 9928, email recruitmen­t.seaham@resqcs. co.uk or go to www.resqcs. oc.uk
