Christmas misery for thousands as City Link Parcels goes into administration

There is misery  this Christmas for thousands of employees of City Link Parcels and for some customers who might not have received Christmas deliveries that they were expecting.

It is rumoured that some staff are owed wages. Staff members were only told that they had lost their jobs on Christmas Eve.

It is understood that some undelivered parcels that are in the City Link system will be returned to the sender. Or that people expecting parcels might be able to collect them from a City Link depot.
