The company plans to close of its UK call centre operations – which also include those in Bristol, Reading and Glasgow – with the loss of 341 jobs
Yell said it plans to move to operations to India. The proposals are subject to a 90-day consultation period.
In a statement, the company said: “Against a difficult economic backdrop, Yell continues to look for opportunities to reduce its cost base in order to protect its capacity to invest in building a sustainable, digital business.
