City Link van in Coldharbour, Gillingham
When I took this photo across Wyke Road on December 13th 2014, little did I realise that it would soon be of historical interest.
12 days later, on Christmas Day 2014, the BBC website announced that parcel delivery company City Link, which employs 2,727 people, had gone into administration. The Coventry-based company, owned by investment firm Better Capital, called in administrators on Christmas Eve after "substantial losses". RMT union general secretary Mick Cash told the BBC: "The way it's happened... that on Christmas Day they've done this to our members is disgraceful." Administrators warned of "substantial redundancies" over the coming days. This is because no buyer has been found to save the company. A number of staff will be retained to help return parcels to customers and help with winding down the company, said administrators Ernst & Young. City Link has stopped accepting parcels from customers at its head office and transport hub in Coventry, its three other transport hubs and 53 UK depots.
