PLANTATION, Fla., Oct. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- C3/CustomerContactChannels ("C3"), a global provider of customer management solutions, announced plans to expand operations with a new contact facility in Sofia, Bulgaria. The new facility, slated to open immediately, will have capacity of over 500 multi-lingual customer service representatives. The center will initially service a global travel client. C3 plans to significantly expand its European operations over the next year, a move driven by increased interest in European centers from existing and potential clients.  Bulgaria will serve as a strategic location for business growth and C3's European expansion.

"We've seen substantial growth in the European market and we want to make a long-term commitment to the region," said David Epstein, C3 CEO. "We're looking to strengthen our presence in Europe by offering the same unique services and solutions we've come to be known for, but with a distinctly European focus."

That focus comes with a highly skilled, multi-lingual staff.  Foreign language capabilities at the new contact center include more than 17 languages from French, Spanish and German to Turkish, Russian and Polish.  Workforce training classes have already begun; however, hiring will continue through December.

The diversity of languages and skills available at the center makes Bulgaria an attractive location for many global companies.  In 2010, AT Kearny ranked Bulgaria as the #1 place for outsourcing in Europe.  

"It's only natural that C3 move to strategic locations throughout Europe to better serve our clients. We are extremely impressed by the superior quality of the workforce in the region," said C3 president and COO Rick Ferry. "This new center will not only serve a significant role in expanding our European operations, but will also allow us enhanced capabilities for other clients across the globe."
