Teleperformance has today revealed that it will create 400 new jobs in its Newry and Bangor premises.

Teleperformance, which represents major clients in the private and public sector, said it is recruiting at least 400 new staff to fill a numbers of roles.

Chief executive of Teleperformance UK Alistair Niederer said: “We are currently enjoying a high level of growth across the UK and are proud to be creating such a boost in Northern Ireland with these vacancies. We are looking for talented people that have a passion for delivering excellent customer service.”

The announcement was welcomed by Dr Gerard O’Hare, chairman of the Parker Green Group which owns the Quays Complex in Newry where the majority of the jobs will be created.
