More than 2,000 staff will be made redundant after Sheffield-based delivery giant Tuffnells Parcels Express fell into administration.
The firm has appointed joint administrators at Interpath Advisory after failing to secure funding in recent weeks.
The majority of Tuffnells’ 2,200 employees, working across its 33 UK depots, will be made redundant, Interpath said. Just 128 staff have been retained. There will also be around 500 contractors who are set to be affected.
