The retail bank -- which unions say has cut 15,000 jobs since it merged with rival HBOS earlier this year -- said on Monday 162 employees' roles would be redeployed, meaning a net reduction of around 373 jobs from the closure of the Brighton centre, which supports telephone and retail banking services.
"As part of our integration process we have reviewed our contact centre sites to ensure that we are operating in the best possible way," David Nicholson, Managing Director of Direct Channels, within Lloyds Banking Group, Retail Division, said.
