Supermarket giant creates 800 customer Service Vacancies

20/08/2009

Supermarket giant, Tesco has announced plans to create more than 800 customer service centre jobs in Scotland to support its finance operation.

 

Tesco had said the centre would open in central Glasgow in the first half of 2010. They are looking to offer a full banking service, with its Edinburgh-based Tesco Personal Finance (TPF) business which already has over six million customers.

They hope to open TPF branches in Tesco Stores. Six brances are being  trialled at the moment, including one at the Silverburn Shopping Centre near Glasgow. 

Tesco recently bought out former partner Royal Bank of Scotland's 50% stake in TPF, while there has been speculation that Tesco may also bid for Northern Rock when the government sells the lender. A move of this nature would increase its market share further.
