Falkirk jobs boost from Delhi
A valuable jobs boost for Falkirk was announced this week ... from the other side of the world.
HEROtsc has secured vital Government funding of 850,000 to create 200 new jobs and half of them will be at its Larbert call centre.
Just 18 months ago, it was on the brink of closure after losing a valuable contract to the Philippines, but weeks later management secured a lucrative deal with Sky which safeguarded jobs.
On Monday, First Minister Alex Salmond revealed the cash boost following a meeting with company officials in Delhi.
The Regional Selective Assistance grant has been awarded to HEROtsc to support the company's plans to expand its Scottish operations in Larbert and Kilmarnock.
Mr Salmond said: "The Scottish Government continues to work hard to attract jobs and investment to Scotland and I am delighted that HEROtsc
is expanding operations by creating 200 new jobs.
In May, HEROtsc received the Outstanding Achievement of the Year accolade at The Falkirk Herald Business Awards.
