TTEC Extends Volkswagen Group UK Partnership Through 2033
TTEC, a consulting and technology company, extended its contract with Volkswagen Group UK for seven years, expanding customer support operations across the automaker's six brands in the United Kingdom.
The deal covers customer care, case management, and connected vehicle support for Audi, Škoda, SEAT, CUPRA, Volkswagen Passenger Cars, and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. TTEC operates the account from offices in Leeds and Cairo.
What Changes Under the Extension
TTEC will deepen its focus on AI for Customer Support and omnichannel contact center solutions. The company will continue building on work it began in 2020, when it helped Volkswagen Group UK migrate to cloud-based platforms and modernize customer relationship management systems.
The partnership emphasizes data-driven insights to improve how the company understands customer needs. TTEC will support customer interactions across multiple channels while handling case management and support for connected vehicles.
Why This Matters for Support Teams
For customer support professionals, the extension signals how major brands are investing in AI Agents & Automation to handle routine inquiries while freeing support staff for complex issues. Volkswagen Group UK's decision to renew for seven years suggests the company sees measurable returns from automating parts of its contact center operations.
Nick Ratcliffe, Customer Experience Director at Volkswagen Group UK, said the partnership helped the company "reshape how we support our customers and retailers, embracing digital innovation and customer-centric thinking."
Chris Stevens, Head of Customer Experience at Volkswagen Group UK, added that "data-led insights" drive the next phase of the partnership, reflecting how customer support roles increasingly depend on analytics and automation tools.
Simon Dillsworth, Senior Vice President of Automotive at TTEC, said the company built "a strong foundation for innovation, operational excellence and long-term customer value" with Volkswagen Group UK over the past six years.
