The move could affect up to 597 staff as the insurer notes that customers are increasingly buying through digital channels.

Ageas has confirmed it is to close two of its sites in a move that could hit up to 597 staff members.

The Stoke Sentinel reported today (22 January) that its Stoke-on-Trent call centre would close by June 2020 and 388 people could be affected.

Ageas confirmed to Insurance Age that 388 staff work at the Stoke operation. However it is understood at this stage that the number of likely redundancies is unclear. It is believed some people may be transferred to other sites.
