Garlands missed opportunity
Less than 2 years ago Garlands had major plans to open a call centre in South Africa.
They even sent flyers round all the sites showing people the region of Cape Town were they would be getting premises...
Jobs were offered to staff here in Middlesbrough to move over there but as the start date got closer, less and less chat about the opportunity was mentioned. An October start date was pushed back to a February start date and then nothing was even communicated again.
Garlands had its future in its hands and let it slip through its fingers.
They can hardly blame “the work going abroad” when that was their plan too. I just wonder why this opportunity was missed. I’m sure Ms Garland is asking her team the very same question.
