November 30, 2017 (London) – Today, Bill Gosling Outsourcing announced the grand opening of its expansion at its London, Ontario offices. CEO David Rae was joined by Mayor Matt Brown to cut the ribbon on the $2 million investment for its offices located at Citi Plaza.
This significant investment signals Bill Gosling Outsourcing’s commitment to growing its client offerings in London. David Rae noted, “With today’s official opening of our newly modernized office, we hope to hire approximately 200 more staff over the next year.” Rae continued “It is an honour having the Mayor of London, Matt Brown here with us. When we first expanded into London in 2015 it was largely due to the talent and depth of London’s labour market. We appreciate the work of the City, and the London Economic Development Corporation in their efforts to support business expansion.”
Concurrent with the official opening of the expanded contact centre and the goal to hire 200 more staff, Bill Gosling Outsourcing is also announcing higher wages for 2018. While the Province of Ontario has legislated a new minimum wage of $14/hr, entry-level positions at Bill Gosling will range between $14.75 and $16.65/hr. In addition, all new employees will receive an automatic $0.50/hr raise after 6 months.
Bill Gosling Senior Vice President, Mike Nolet stated, “We know if we want to attract the best candidates and retain our current employees, we need to be more than be a minimum wage employer.” Mike added, “Our commitment is to offer higher wages and to ensure we have the most engaged workforce. We’re proud of the talent at Bill Gosling, and of the many who participate in local initiatives such as the Corporate Challenge and support numerous local charities.”
