Unconfirmed reports circulating this week suggest that the Irish sportsbetting company Boylesports is to close its multilingual customer support centre in Pueblo Nuevo, Spain, and has already retrenched some 40 staff members.
It was only in September last (2008) year that the company announced a Euro 3 million investment in a European expansion initiative which included setting up the centre in Spain . Reasons for the closure are not clear, and the company has so far declined to comment on the story.
Last month Boylesports CEO Daniel O’Mahoney surprised industry observers by quitting his five year tenure with immediate effect, citing personal reasons.
