As reported in Craine’s business:

BSkyB is to create 550 jobs with a new Sky call centre in Stockport.

The 23,500 sq ft regional office in the St Peter’s Square development in the town centre will open in June.

The centre will handle enquiries for pay television, broadband and telephony and recruitment is expected to start in March. Roles will include training, coaching and HR, as well as customer services

This is something the Council has been working very hard to secure for some time.  We’ve known for a couple of weeks that a big company was moving in; now we know it’s Sky.  Great news for the town.
