BULMERS LOGISTICS has terminated the contracts of 23 drivers in Teesport and Hull, but plans to recruit about 35 more in Ipswich and Immingham. The operator says this is in response to changing demand at the ports.
Jonathan Bulmer, the managing director, says: "There has been a general slowdown with a particular piece of business we were doing at Teesport and Hull. As a result, we have terminated the contracts of 23 drivers who have been with us for less than a year."
But business at Ipswich and Immingham is rising, so Bulmers plans to recruit 35 to 40 drivers in those locations in the coining weeks. "Due to the distances involved, we cannot transfer drivers between the ports," he says.
