Firstsource Boost For Jobs

An Indian-owned telecommunications company, Firstsource, is set to recruit 160 extra employees at its Londonderry premises.

The company, which already employs about 600 people in the city, unveiled plans for expansion earlier in 2008 and now Sean Harnett, General Manager of the firm's Derry operation, said the positions would be filled soon.

"We need customer service and the ability to talk and obviously people in Derry can do that," he said, noting that Firstsource operates two centres in Belfast and Derry employing more than 900 people overall.
