The doors closed at the Birchfield House and Quayside House offices in Oldbury on Friday following an announcement last November that the company would be restructuring its customer service activities, including outsourcing work to India.

The decision to close the Birchfield House office and move staff to its neighbouring office Birch House, has meant the loss of 150 jobs.

The company's Quayside House office which also employed 150 people has also shut.
