just tried to get in there yard at mbro and all the drivers have been sacked, everyones running round putting there gear in the cars with trucks abandonded all over the yard, keys getting thrown into puddles, really was a sad state of affairs

2

IIRC, it’s not the first time Bulmers have done this.

Are they about to go ■■■■ up again?

Ken.

just been told im a driver in hull oops ex driver they even wanted me to cover a 2300hrs delivery tonight lol i said ollocks bye

4

is this the same Bulmers that did the pre pack administration thing last year?

wiped out all his debts, then started again as if nothing had happened with all the same drivers and vehicles, but changed the name slightly

5

I remember that Rob, and i think you are correct. Jonathan Bulmer is/was at the top iirc.

I bet he’ll still sleep easy tonight though, and will probably start up again.

Let’s hope VOSA stop him.

One of their drivers came over to ask me directions to one of our places , whilst at Toddington earlier today . He was a nice guy and we ended up having a good natter . No mention of trouble with his job , in fact he told me he was on a night out tonight and running in tomorrow . :frowning:

My mate at the ipswich depot got back at 14.00 and was told to clear his cab .Saw 8 or 9 units with skellys going west on the A14 about 16.00 snatched by the bailiffs apparently?.He’s not coming back this time there’s nothing left he sold all the land.Was a rumour earlier this week that Goldstar were gonna buy em but obviously not!!.Well i enjoyed my 3 yrs there but looks like i got out at the right time feel sorry for the drivers :angry:

When someone goes bust there should be no “reset button” for at least 5 years. There’s people around here who’ve dodged paying what they owe, started up again and now owe money to other people; those owed first time around learnt from their mistake of working for them…
