employing around 700 people.<\/p>\n<p>The technology company, which specialises in device protection, trade-in, accessories, and technical support, is to open a new customer contact centre at Crewe Business Park, adding to its existing operations in the town.<\/p>\n<p>Cheshire East Council&#8217;s economic development team worked with the Department for International Trade and the Cheshire and Warrington local enterprise partnership to assist Brightstar to choose a new location in Crewe.<\/p>\n<p>The company has already announced the opening of a new facility on Jack Mills Way for handling mobile devices, accessories and support services.<\/p>\n<p>The company, which operates in 50 countries, opted to expand in Crewe because of its connectivity, including road and rail links and because of the expertise of its local workforce.<\/p>\n<p>The council supported the company by engaging developers and planning officers to offer advice around the practicalities of their expansion plans.<\/p>\n<p>Cllr Nick Mannion, Cheshire East Council cabinet member for environment and regeneration, said: &#8220;This is excellent news for Crewe at a time when the UK economy is taking a huge dip owing to the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are delighted to see Brightstar invest here for the long term and especially pleased that they opted for Crewe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Brightstar executive president, Gerry O&#8217;Keeffe, said: &#8220;Our \u00a350m investment reaffirms our commitment to Crewe and secures our position as the leading provider of device protection and life cycle services.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This represents a huge boost to Crewe and the North West and demonstrates our commitment to the region and the specialist knowledge our teams have developed within the area.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miami-based Brightstar is to invest \u00a350m in its UK business operations with a new call centre in Crewe, employing around 700
