where are all the call centres?

Hi,

Looking to find contact details for call centres major business's in the North West.

Basically anywhere thats big enough to have a IT helpdesk this can include mad nhs etc.

Having recently moved over here I do not have sufficient local knowledge to draw on. I know theres got to be plenty in Manchester and Liverpool areas and would welcome any details. I don't need anything too specific just the company name and the town or estate. ie.


Ntl
Preston Farm Ind Est
Stockton

Any help would be fantastic and theres a bag full of reps here for those that can help.

Anywhere else in the country would be good also specifically those near Bristol, Birmingham, Edinburgh and London.

thank you

hm

Re: where are all the call centres?

BT has a command centre in Brentwood, Essex (Paul works there) and a call centre in Tyne and Wear (cos they mucked up his security details and said he worked there today!)
Think they have another call centre in Manchester somewhere - and probably a few others!
