Allens helps Vodafone grow its Tasmania customer service operations

13 August 2013

Allens has advised Vodafone Hutchison Australia Pty Ltd (VHA) on its pre-leasing commitments for its new national customer care centre based in Hobart, Tasmania.

In December this year, Vodafone will be the anchor tenant in a brand-new state-of-the-art customer care centre, currently under construction at the corner of Bathurst and Argyle streets in Hobart's CBD.

The new premises will be Vodafone's second customer care call centre in the state, which, including its existing centre in Kingston, Tasmania, will eventually offer a total of 1300 jobs in the state.

'This is another step towards Vodafone's expansion and continued onshoring of vital customer service roles,' said lead Allens Partner Victoria Holthouse.

'This is a significant real estate investment for Vodafone and will no doubt give a boost to the local economy. Vodafone has shown that it is serious about offering locally based customer care.

'Allens has acted for Vodafone in its real estate work for more than a decade and this transaction is another sign of its commitment to Australian jobs. We were very happy to be a part of it.'
