A huge Radcliffe call centre building which once employed hundreds is to be converted into a warehouse. Plans have been approved for extensive demolition and conversion work to be undertaken at the former O2, Capita and Tesco Mobile building off Dumers Lane in the town.
The plans, which were approved in the past week, will see the multi-storey car park at the site demolished along with several plant buildings. The work will involve dismantling of internal structures and accommodation within the call centre hall including removing the second-floor staff restaurant canteen to create a massive warehouse.
In 2015, Capita revealed plans to axe 350 staff working for O2 at the call centre. Later, new call centre clients, including Tesco Mobile and Television Licensing moved into the building, but in May 2021 Capita suddenly announced the centre would close its doors within months with workers asked to to relocate 35 miles away to Preston Brook, near Warrington.
