Home Delivery Network is a parcel carrier that used to be part of Littlewoods, and the design and engineering group Atkins. It is the UK’s largest home delivery and collection service, 59 parcel depots operating across the nation.
However, these days, nearly 1000 people are facing the risk of losing their jobs at the company. On the day that UK officially entered recession, a reorganisation of Home Delivery Network put up to 686 jobs at risk. Atkins is to slash up to 260 staff in its UK design arm. Home Delivery Network’s decision to shut depots would have a “devastating effect” on workers and their families.
