A NEW customer service centre is set to open in Peterborough, with the creation of 18 jobs.

National company AB Agri is bucking the trend in the recession by employing the new staff in the customer service centre serving its pig and poultry division ABN, based at its prestigious new offices in Lynch Wood.

“AB Agri is opening the new centre as part of its commitment to providing excellent customer service,” said ABN Managing Director Alan Murphy. “The customer service centre will provide a central point of contact and complement our significant investment in new business systems throughout this year.”

Keen to support other businesses in the city, AB Agri has appointed Anne Corder Recruitment (ACR) to head up the recruitment initiative with opportunities available for customer service scheduling co-ordinators, customer service co-ordinators and customer service administrators.

“We are delighted to be working with AB Agri to find the right people for their new customer service centre,” said consultant Kerry Tanner. “This is really positive news for the Peterborough job market.”

ACR is organising two open recruitment events for anyone interested in the positions to find out more. They are being staged on Tuesday June 16 and Thursday June 18.
