BSkyB to create 800 jobs through call centre

Digital TV and satellite giant BSkyB is set to open a major customer contact centre in Ireland this August — resulting in an extra 800 jobs.

In a widely welcomed development described by the Government as “a vote of confidence” to the country, the Rupert Murdoch-owned, multi-channel station said hundreds of people will be employed within the next two years.

The jobs, which include those in customer services, human resources and training, will be located at a Sky customer contact centre that is due to open in Dublin’s Burlington Plaza in August.
