Jobs could be at risk at a major Sky office branch in West Lothian, Edinburgh Live has learnt.
A source has exclusively revealed that staff were made aware that their roles are in danger at the Livingston Watermark shared service centre. This comes as Sky has announced that activities undertaken by its Shared Services division will be delivered by a new supplier, outsourcing giant Accenture.
Under proposals in internal documents seen by Edinburgh Live, this transfer means that the work will instead be outsourced and delivered from Bangalore, India, in a bid to cut costs. The redundancy consultation period will begin March 9 and staff are being encouraged to choose a representative to attend a number of consultancy meetings. This period will last 45 days.
