Require customer services for UK customers be mostly UK-based

Closed 40 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe customer service departments of businesses who provide and sell goods or services in the UK should be mainly UK based.
I am concerned by the amount of telephony customer service work being moved outside the UK. I think that preventing this will help the UK's economy, by making more jobs available to UK residents. This job can commonly be done from home and without qualifications, making it easily accessible to many people. Having customer services based here could help some those who need a job and may, in turn, provide a boost to the economy.
