More on Abbey
Description from Wikipedia:
Abbey, formerly Abbey National, is one of the largest banks in the United Kingdom. Abbey's registered office is in London (built on the site of the former Thames Television studios in Euston Road) and its main corporate centre is in Milton Keynes. Its savings and banking administration departments are both in Bradford, with a mortgage centre in Thornaby-on-Tees (which is rumoured to be under threat of closure ). Abbey currently has Banking Contact Centres in Sheffield, Basildon, Belfast and Glasgow. Business Banking operations, both administrative and telephony, are also based in Glasgow, having been moved from Taunton and Newport early in 2005.
Abbey previously operated contact centres in Derby, Warrington and Gateshead. The Derby and Warrington centres were closed as part of a cost cutting exercise. Those jobs moved to Bangalore and Pune, India. Following the takeover by Banco Santander, the Gateshead operations also closed in March 2005. However, operations then returned to the UK at a later date
