More than 2,000 staff will be made redundant all over the UK after delivery giant Tuffnells Parcels Express fell into administration.
Just 128 staff out of a total of 2,200 have been retained and all its transport hubs and depots have been closed, according to joint administrators at Interpath Advisory. The majority of Tuffnells' 2,200 employees will be made redundant, Interpath said. About 500 contractors will also be affected by the closures.
The company has 33 depots throughout the UK including one on Abbotsford Road, Felling, Gateshead.
