Graham Morgan, Director of the South Wales Chamber of Commerce, said: “It is great news that a company of such global status and prestige, Virgin Atlantic, are going to open a call centre in Swansea.
“The news of 200 jobs is of particular excitement given the harsh unemployment reality Wales has faced during the economic downturn.
“It is clear from other major names housing their call centres in Swansea such as Lloyds TSB, HSBC and Acorn’s Business Centre that Swansea in West Wales is fast becoming an ideal setting for this industry.”
