BT plans Londonderry office closure, risking 140 jobs

News summary

BT has announced plans to close its Londonderry office by the end of the year, putting approximately 140 jobs at risk, with the majority of roles set to be transferred to India and some employees offered relocation to Belfast. Local leaders, including MP Colum Eastwood, have criticized the move as devastating for workers and the broader Derry economy, arguing that it exacerbates regional economic imbalances and shifts opportunities away from the city. Eastwood and other officials have pledged to raise the issue with both Stormont and London governments, pressing for greater investment in jobs and regional economic balance. BT stated that the closure is part of a broader consolidation effort into a smaller number of buildings and cited the Derry office as unsuitable for long-term use. The announcement follows similar job losses at other BT sites in Northern Ireland, amplifying concerns about the company's commitment to local employment. Community and political responses have emphasized solidarity with affected workers and called for measures to mitigate the impact on the region.
