More British Gas jobs to be sent to India

24 July 2012

July 19, 2012. Energy major British Gas, which has already moved several jobs to India in recent years, is likely to move more jobs here after shortly carrying out redundancies in its office jobs in Leicestershire. The company has announced staff cuts at its offices in Leicestershire while launching a 90-day consultation period with 300 members of staff and employee unions. The company did not confirm how many jobs will be lost or where they will be moved, but trade union Unison said they will be moved to India. The company said the proposed cuts were part of efforts to keep gas and electricity prices low. British Gas confirmed the job losses in Leicestershire.
