P&O Ferries owner reports record profits months after sacking 800 staff

DP World saw its profit soar by more than 50% in the first six months of the year

P&O Ferries has been accused of acting like a “corporate gangster” for celebrating record profits just months after it sacked 800 UK-based workers without notice.

DP World, which owns the firm, said that it had made a profit of 884 million dollars (£736m) over the six months to the end of June.
