Whittle whittles down staff following losses

摘要

Whittle's - part of the EYMS Group — is closing its Ludlow depot in mid-November, but retaining its main 38-vehicle base at Kidderminster. rnEYMS Group chairman Peter Shipp blames continuing financial losses and persistent staff shortages for the closure. Although it based 14 buses at Ludlow, recent staff losses reduced the available labour force there to 11 drivers, a fitter and two recently employed cleaners.
