On Thursday, March 18, 2004, Peter Gillette, Chairman of the Gillette Group’s DirecOne call centre operations and CEO, Gary Owens of US telecom company, Accent announced their latest joint venture
This new venture brings a 1,000 agent help desk services to the DirecOne on behalf of one of the top Fortune 500 companies in the United States of America. This is a major milestone in the achievements and success of DirecOne which signifies a turning point in the call center industry in Trinidad and Tobago.
The 1,000 new agents employed by DirecOne will be delivering professional customer care on behalf of Accent for the Sprint Corporation. The new agents are all Trinidadians who have gone through intensive training to bring the highest level of quality assurance to this new joint venture.
DirecOne’s current staff of about 500 will re-locate to a new site which is under construction and will be open in the third quarter 2004, while the agents for Sprint will take up their seats at the Chaguaramas Convention Centre. Another call centre has just been acquired in Jamaica which the Gillette Group will be rolling out within the next six months. All present and prospective campaigns are available to all the 3 call centers of the Group.
