Which are the largest call centres in the UK?

As Businesses Focus on Efficiency, Larger Call Centres will Reduce in Size

RBS Insurance created the World’s largest virtual call centre a couple of years ago – Churchill, Direct Line, NIG, UKi, Privilege, etc.

I guess as businesses focus on efficiency, larger call centres will reduce in size…

Single Site or Multi-Site

Are we talking in terms of single site here or a multi-site virtual contact centre?
I’d wager that in terms of VCC capacity, NHS Direct is made up of 36 sites across the country of hub and spoke formation-pretty vast!

Thanks to Rob. 

UK is Harder to Classify

Largest CC in the world is AOL in the Philippines I think. The UK’s biggest is harder because of the tendency to classify distributed contact centres as single sites when they are not.

Bank of America in Chester is huge, JD Williams in Manchester is surprisingly big as is Homeserve in Walsall.

Thanks to Michael
