I've no idea what an Outbound Customer Service Advisor even is.

 

[Onket]

I'm sure you could have a guess. It's hardly gobbledegook.

I could have a guess, but seeing as I've already explained I don't know what an Outbound Customer Service Advisor, I'd have no idea if I was correct or not.

But seeing as it's apparently so obvious, perhaps you might explain what the job is and what the role entails?

 

[Onket]

Perhaps it's a mechanic, working on spacecraft?

Or someone who paints the lines down the middle of the roads?

Ah, OK. So you:
(a) don't actually know yourself or
(b) you're being an annoying prick

Thanks. I've never heard the phrase before.

Oh, you've gone back to the name-calling, have you? Good one.

If you are willing to post on a messageboard pretending that you have 'no idea what an Outbound Customer Service Advisor even is', then you have to be prepared for someone to call you on it.

Outbound? Hmmm, what can it mean?

Customer Service? That's a puzzler.

Advisor? Nope, you've got me.

Basically it is a call centre.
What I want to know is WHO the company is running it.
Not the recruiter advertising the roles.

Thanks for not bickering about it

Congratulations. You're going to be the first poster I've ever put on ignore here. Bye.

It's about fucking time you followed your own advice. Well done.

The fuckwit has hopefully fucked off now.

Looks like a company who provides the service on behalf of charities-

If it's a Brixton-based charity rather than a Brixton based call centre you could fossick about here www.charitychoice.co.uk and used the advanced search to find charities within a mile of a given postcode.....

 

[Thimble Queen]

reading the advert is sounds like pell and bales. Ugh. Although I didn't think that they had a call centre in brixton...

I had guessed this much

They are a call centre that employ people to follow up on people who have been caught by chuggers. It is not a Brixton based charity but a call centre covering (as far as I know) the UK.

The company who has offices in Holloway and Brixton. Someone here must know the name of the company or knows someone who has worked or is working there.

 

[Thimble Queen]

If it is Pell and Bales they are quite easy to get a.job with but id apply direct because you get paid more iirc

They have Brixton & Holloway offices

These are one of the companies recruiting for them - www.evorecruit.co.uk

I think they are called 'Inside' or 'Inbound'

Not applying, I have a bone to pick with them

Pell & Bales head office is 211 Old Street, London, EC1V 9NR
I just called them and their call centre is based in Old Street so can rule them out.

So who will move into the last 'prime unit' left in Brixton?

*still loving the alteration

http://www.urban75.org/blog/last-re...new-owners-but-will-it-be-another-phone-shop/

I'm surprised someone hasn't moved in already. The council claim there is significant interest in Brixton from retail chains. As stated in your article, it is very unlikely an independent shop will move in, esp given the rent is likely to be over £100k per annum/over £10k per month. Perhaps someone is waiting for the rent price to drop...

Let's look at some other current commerical property prices in Brixton:

41-43 Atlantic Road: £65k per annum

Brady's (downstairs & basement only): £90k per annum

My worry is that commercial property prices are so high now in Brixton that many units will remain empty, as people shop around for better deals elsewhere, or wait for the asking price to be dropped.
