Liverpool has received a jobs blow as Diligenta, which is owned by Tata, has confirmed that it is planning to move its life and pension scheme administration to India. As many as 140 jobs could be lost in the area.
The announcement comes on top of the loss of 73 jobs at the company’s offices in Old Hall Street in the city by the end of the year. The company stated that the new job losses would be made within a voluntary redundancy programme and would start to happen by the end of 2012 and into 2013.
The Unite trade union condemned the decision, stating that other companies are bringing its overseas work back to the UK. It confirmed that there would be no compulsory redundancies and that enhanced packages would be offered but stated that this was no compensation for the job losses and that the move would hurt the Merseyside economy.
A spokesperson for the company stated that it had already begun to consult with staff on its proposals and was committed to providing any necessary support that was needed.
The company took over the Unisys Insurance Services operation two years ago and had hoped to expand its activities in Liverpool.
