LIBERTY Insurance has finalised an agreement with Teleperformance to manage and operate their Enniskillen contact centre.

Speaking after the announcement was made this morning, Fermanagh and South Tyrone MLA Sean Lynch said said he was delighted that the deal had been finalised.

Mr Lynch said: “The news of job losses in Liberty Insurance a few weeks ago was a shock and disappointment to the entire community, but we are hopeful that this will give the current employees, and the local area, a boost of confidence.

“Teleperformance is a global leader in outsourced multichannel customer experience management and has been established in the north since 2000, employing over 2,000 people across its two sites in Bangor and Newry.

“The strong management team and dedicated staff network based in Liberty Insurance in Enniskillen will undoubtedly thrive under this agreement.” The MLA added: “The company will manage and operate the customer contact facility here in Enniskillen, and hopefully this agreement will deliver growth and prosperity both locally and nationally.”
