262 jobs at risk in the North West due to City Link administration

City Link Limited, the parcel delivery service went into administration on Christmas Eve.

A recent bid to save the company has failed resulting in a potential of 262 jobs that could be lost in the North West.

This includes 115 jobs in Warrington, 52 in Preston, 67 in Manchester and 28 in Carlisle.

Just 370 jobs will be kept across the company in order to wind down operations and deal with packages in the system already.

Hunter Kelly, one of the administrators, said in a statement on Wednesday: “It is with regret that we have to announce substantial redundancies at City Link Limited, which ceased accepting new parcels on 24 December 2014.

“The company endured substantial losses, which ultimately became too great for it to continue as a going concern, and City Link Limited entered administration following an unsuccessful sale process,” according to the BBC.
