0

MORE than 100 jobs look set to go at Warrington, following the collapse of parcel delivery firm City Link.
The company, which has a depot at Appleton, went into administration on Christmas Eve and overall, some 2,000 staff look set to be made redundant on New Year’s Eve.
A total of 115 work at the Appleton depot.
City Link has been criticised over the timing of the announcement.
But Jon Moulton, founder of Better Capital, which owned the company, said it could not have been handled any better.
He said: “We chased every possible way to save this company.
Delaying the closure until after Christmas was not an option because trading while insolvent was a criminal offence.
The company is now being run by administrators and customers are being advised to collect parcels from depots on Monday.
