The UK Knack Group Announce Scemes schemes to help mid-Wales
(PRWeb UK) January 27, 2011
Newton’s mayoress has praised the initiative of Oswestry-based call centre Scemes to move into her town in the coming weeks.
Councillor Joy Jones described as a “major boost” the decision of Scemes to make this move into a town that is staggering from the effects of closures and job losses in the past year. Come the end of this month, another 80 positions are to become redundant at the town’s Shop Direct call centre.
Executive employment consultancy The UK Knack Group, announcing Sceme’s news this morning, said, “This is just the ticket for a town that’s taken such a hammering from the recession. The economy’s on the rebound, though, and there are job prospects here now. Remember, success breeds success, and when Scemes does well, so will other call centres. Inspiration is everything.”
Counteracting the Shop Direct job losses, the Scemes initiative is expected to generate 11 jobs, with every prospect of expansion.
Councillor Jones said, “I have spoken to the company and they are as delighted as I am. I would like to thank them for coming to Newtown and helping us to get the town back on the map.”
The managing director of Scemes is Steve Meredith, who said that they hope to move to their new premises at Vastre Industrial Estate and that they were delighted to be expanding.
The UK Knack Group learned that the call centre will initially take on 11 people, and they will take it from there, see how it goes, but they were thrilled that Newtown is set to welcome them.
Scemes – an acronym that is nowhere clearly translated – has for the past decade been upheld as a prime resource for educational purchasing. The products are free to educators, and the Scemes mission statement appears to be to provide school educational requirement buyers with a one-stop shop option
News of Scemes’s plan has Newtown buzzing, as there is the usual per capita index of unemployment, and the prospect of a job is an attractive one. There would also be the supernumerary industries of computer and telephone servicing to consider, together with maintenance and essential deliveries.
