Yeah right.
They bought a loss making company, or rather were "given" a loss making company, and 12 months later they still had a loss making company.
Attempts they made to restructure the business to make it not so loss making were fought by the union.
So now it is no more, only thing at fault here is the freemarket economy.

I suspect there may be questions to be answered from a Business Secretary perspective in relation to the message it will have sent to staff, customers and, ultimately, shareholders. |
Duh, it's PR, clue is in the fact it was written by a PR company.
It's basically an advertisement. And would probably feature as a faux news item in many trade publications
It's written to show prospective customers that City Link is all systems go to ensure that they can handle your business this year.
Obviously it didn't have the desired effect.
What would you advise then to do, put out a statement advising that things are looking a bit dodgy this year, so I would risk using us to handle you business. - we could go pop at any moment.
