Unicom to create 100 telecoms jobs

Manchester-based telecoms service provider Unicom plans to create 100 new jobs this year in response to business growth.

Most of the new jobs will be located in Manchester, but some will be at Unicom's nine UK regional offices, said the firm.

The company currently employs 500 staff. The new jobs will be in sales, credit control, customer service, IT and administration teams.

Chris Earle, Unicom operations director, said, "We have developed a focused small-business telecoms product and service, and business seems to have embraced it."

Unicom provides telecoms, broadband and website services to 70,000 small businesses across the UK.
