The contact centre firm’s client has confirmed these “essential services” fall within key worker categories, as defined by the UK and Scottish governments during the coronavirus crisis.

It’s understood this work prioritises Webhelp’s client’s most vulnerable customers while managing tech-related issues – other customers are directed to self-serve options.

Meanwhile, the firm says no sales campaigns are being carried out in Larbert while the crisis continues, and that staff normally assigned to sales work are instead supporting customers with basic service queries.
