Greenstone brings offshore call centre back to NZ
Greenstone Energy has signed a contract with Telnet to bring the company’s call centre in the Philippines back to New Zealand, creating around 12 fulltime Kiwi jobs.
Chief Executive Mike Bennetts said, “We’re locally owned and operated, the returns from our business are retained here for the benefit of New Zealanders and, while competitors are moving jobs offshore, we’re creating jobs and investment in New Zealand. While Shell was previously paying for these roles globally, as local owners we are now in a position to keep these costs and benefits within New Zealand.”
Telnet is a New Zealand privately owned call centre company that employs 160 staff in Queen Street, Auckland.
Founder and Chief Executive John Chetwynd added, “Both Greenstone and Telnet agree that being Kiwi-owned counts for little if it’s not backed up by world-class performance. We work hard on delivering cost efficiencies alongside cutting-edge technology and friendly staff, delivered locally. It’s this combined strategy that is paying off for Telnet.”
Telnet is currently recruiting for Greenstone’s call centre roles in Auckland.
