Expansion for NZ's Key Research

New Zealand company Key Research is to create fifty jobs in a new call centre, opened this week in its home city of Tauranga.

Initially with twenty seats, the centre should expand to fifty within the next year, Group chairman Michael Hooker told the www.bayofplentytimes.co.nz . Key bought call centre company Pulse Business Solutions in 2008 - the expanding Pulse serves a number of Australian MR agencies as well as end clients.

Founded in 1993, Key also bought Perth, Australia-based MR firm West Coast Field Services earlier this year, and Hooker - who bought Key in 2001 - says he aims to buy two more Australian MR firms, on east and west coasts, before turning his attention to the broader Asia Pacific region.

Including the new additions, the group will have around 100 staff in Tauranga, 80 in Pulse's base in Oamaru and 110 in Perth.
