Motorpoint opens up in Derby
Car supermarket business Motorpoint has opened a new call centre in Derby. The company has invested a six-figure sum transforming a 9,000 sq ft unit at St James House in a move that will create more than 30 jobs.
The call centre on Mansfield Road will handle sales calls for Motorpoint Derby as well as the company’s other sites in Burnley, Glasgow, Newport and Peterborough.
It will also act as a base for the company’s a customer services team.
Jon Baird, Motorpoint’s call centre general manager, said: “We opened our call centre at a time when the idea of buying a car over the phone was completely unheard of. But technology has moved on considerably since then and today buying a car over the phone has become the norm.
“However, our previous site simply didn’t have the facilities to accommodate the team comfortably and after a year of searching for a suitable location, we’re delighted to moving to St James House. It’s a purpose-built environment, with excellent facilities throughout, plus additional space for new team members as and when required.”
