More than 30 people have been made redundant at a delivery service’s Edmonton depot.

The workers at City Link’s depot in Bestway Business Park, in Ardra Road, were laid off on New Year’s Eve.

Five staff have been kept on at the depot to deal with outstanding parcels, but 31 were made redundant after the firm fell into administration on Christmas Eve.

A total of 2,356 people of the 2,727 employed by the company have been made redundant.

Hunter Kelly, joint administrator of City Link Limited, said: “The company endured substantial losses, which ultimately became too great for it to continue as a going concern.”
