At the same time, customers of the Swedish fashion brand can look forward to a high-quality service experience from a global leader in this industry.
“For H&M the transfer of the customer service centre to Webhelp is a bridge to the future of service excellence: we are building on a trusted partnership that ensures the security of our colleagues at the Nuremberg site while offering new strengths for exceptional customer service,” affirms Joakim Eskilsson, Global Head of Customer Service at H&M. This intensifies the close collaboration between the two companies, a partnership that has been in place since 2018.”
”With the acquisition of H&M’s Nuremburg customer service centre, we further evidence Webhelp’s commitment to our global partnership with the Swedish multinational retail-clothing company H&M and to being a major employer in northern Bavaria. We’re delighted to welcome our new colleagues to the Webhelp family of game-changers, and with H&M’s vote of confidence in us and our services,” says Christoph Thieme, CEO Webhelp DACH.
