Now, I should also say that I have visited Buckingham Palace as a member of the press, interviewed Princes, been at a private party with Cliff and the Shadows and Joan Collins, taken champagne in the boardrooms of Fortnums, The Royal Academy, and a hundred other places you may know. But the nadir of my life was working in a call centre. If ever you doubt the existence of hell, get a job in one.
So it was with much interest and a feeling of quiet disgust that I came across this advert:
Head of Call Centre Site

Role Overview
Working for an exceptional business and UK brand, we are looking to secure a Head of Site for the North West.
