Bath appoints Shire Leasing to deliver financial assistance for hauliers hit by city’s CAZ

Clive Brooks (pictured), MD of Herefordshire-based haulier ABE, has applauded the government’s offer to pay employees 80% of their salaries while giving them leave of absence during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Premier Logistics MD Lee Christopher has predicted the haulier will bounce back after two disastrous acquisitions and the end of its Pall-Ex work led to a £1m loss that triggered an emergency loan from its new network.

Wincanton’s share price is trading at its highest level in a year, and despite a fall in turnover the 3PL’s operational strength appears to have pleased its critics, for now at least.
