Up to 20 jobs affected in Plymouth as firm transfers IT activity
A number of jobs could be lost at EDF’s Plymouth office after the firm decided to transfer some of its work to Gloucestershire.
Around 20 jobs could be affected — with the possibility of staff being transferred or made redundant.

Four hundred employees work at EDF’s office, near the Manadon roundabout. Staff at the site work in a range of areas including billing, IT and customer service.
A spokesman for the firm said: “We recently announced to staff the proposed transfer of our IT data centre infrastructure activity to our site at Barnwood, Gloucester, from Plymouth, which should be completed in mid-2012.
"This will impact on only a small number of staff at Plymouth. EDF Energy has a strong track record of supporting those impacted by organisational change, and for those few affected we will continue to engage constructively with trade union representatives as that process progresses."

“And the rest of the jobs will follow in 18 months when they close the office thats why they are only offering 9 month contracts.”

“OK so EDF are transferring jobs out of Plymouth so let Plymouthians transfer their Energy Supplies away from EDF to send out a message.”
