          Has Barclays got anything left in Cheshire? I thought it had long since outsourced all that to Accenture and EDS (who then offshored it). The Radbroke Hall holiday park - those were the days!

          If this deal comes off it will be all the support functions like HR and Finance that will get clobbered down in Canary Wharf.

          My money's on RBS to pip them at the post.

            Has anyone else ex-RBS / NatWest integration been contacted by Spring recently - about 'positions that may be coming up'?

              Ah - but the one at Brackmills is Barclaycard and they treat them as two entirely different companies (when it suits them). Can't see that going, and neither can some of the people I know that work there on a permie basis. It's the ones in HO in Canary Wharf that will need to start sweating

                So in all because of the merger nearly 25,000 jobs will be lost.

                Hard to see where the benefit is in all of this unless of course you are a major shareholder that is

                You know if I worked for Barclays or ABN Id be root'n for RBS to take over as their call centres are in Scotland (haha, cheap labour ).

                  Have any of the main banks confirmed that their call centres will never be off shored ?

                    RBS seems to be the only one with no plans to move overseas. Then again maybe Im confusing an Indian accent as a Scotish one?
