Virgin plans call centre job cuts 

 Nearly 150 staff at Virgin Media's call centre in Nottingham have been told they face being made redundant.
 
 The firm has said it plans to close the telesales department at Colwick, losing 113 sales posts and 35 support staff.
 
 Under the plans, support staff face a July finish while the telesales positions are going in October.
 
 The firm announced in November it would cut more than 2,000 jobs over the next four years. It said a consultation with those affected has begun.
 
 Virgin Media said the changes were "critical" to ensuring it was positioned to compete effectively.
 
 But the group had said it would not start cutting jobs until the fourth quarter of the year.
 
 Virgin Media has 76 offices across the UK, with other major bases in London, Edinburgh and Sheffield.
