Liverpool Debt Collection Agency to Cut Jobs

Monday, September 7th, 2009

A Liverpool debt collection agency has announced plans to cut jobs. Intrum Justicia, announced it would see the workforce reduced “substantially” after the company made an announcement that it was scaling back its UK business.

It is thought that upto 247 jobs could be at risk and the majority of them will be from the Head Office in Liverpool, although the company has not confirmed the exact number.

It was only in April that that Intrum Justicia was forced to make an embarrassing U-turn on an announcement about new positions.

The announcement said that the debt collection agency would look to take on at least 100 more staff to aid with debt recovery as part of expansion, and then days later the Swedish owned group was forced to deny this, with managing director Chris Savage resigning from his post.

Managing Director quits UK DCA

Monday, April 27th, 2009

The manager of a Liverpool debt collection agency has handed in his resignation after the company performed a dramatic u-turn over plans to create jobs in the city.

Chris Savage was, until very recently, regional managing director of Intrum Justitia, a Swedish firm who had it’s UK HQ based in Liverpool. Diverging views on the appropriate strategy for the UK and Ireland was cited as the reason for his departure.

It was earlier in April when Intrum UK issues a press release claiming it wanted to expand its UK business and create an additional 100 jobs in the city. However, since then the Swedish parent company has stated that the press release was “unauthorised” and said it had no plans to increase its UK workforce.

Mr Savage said “I have decided that the best solution for me and my employer is that I immediately resign.”
