Managing Director quits UK DCA

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.”
