Urgent assurances demanded on job security across Capita’s VMO2 contract as yet more redundancies are announced
September 1 2023

Despite the fact that VMO2 says it expects the latter work to be split across various internal teams spread over multiple UK locations, it has formally requested that Capita initiate a ‘pre-TUPE transfer redundancy consultation’.
