FORTY jobs are being created over the next two years as Go Response, a call centre operator, establishes a base at Sittingbourne Research Centre.

After working with Locate in Kent, the agency responsible for attracting businesses to the area, the company chose to move from South London to the research centre, off Broad Oak Road.

Go Response offers a telephone answering service for businesses, providing 24-hour call handling services such as 'virtual receptionists,' sales order lines and customer service lines.

Some staff are already working on the site but more being recruited.
