A WIRRAL company established just two years ago has announced plans to recruit 150 new staff.

The Contact Company, founded in July, 2006, has experienced rapid growth in its two years of trading.

It has worked with clients such as The Jewellery Channel, Woolworths and Comic Relief.

Its reputation was enhanced further in June after they won the Think Big and Entrepreneur of the Year awards at the inaugural Wirral Investment Network awards.

Asif Hamid, CEO of The Contact Company, said: “We are thrilled by this next excit-ing phase of growth, and I am particularly delighted to be able to create so many new opportunities for the local and wider Wirral community.

Last August, the firm almost doubled its workforce after winning a contract with Woolworths, adding 100 staff to its existing 125-strong staff.

The Contact Company’s chief executive, Asif Hamid, joined forces with former Vod-afone and Littlewoods manager Juliet Rhodes to set up the specialist call centre company.

The firm was touted as one of the success stories supported by Wirral Direct, which helps businesses looking to set up in the borough.
