A call centre company has announced it's creating almost 500 new jobs in East Kilbride.

AGO Outsourcing say the jobs are part of a £40m five-year investment and demonstrated the Scottish jobs market remained in "good shape".

Contact centre operations manager, Denise Cassidy said "This announcement could not have come at a better time for this sector, and I'm delighted that East Kilbride has been selected as the hosting location.

"The site is state-of-the-art, and the operation will, without doubt, be a very desirable opportunity for many people.

"Many years ago, the contact centre industry left a lot to be desired, however Ago Outsourcing have developed something special here, the investment in the facility, the technology and most importantly our people, will guarantee long term and a bright future for all involved."

90 roles will be created in the company's sales division from the end of the month.
