Re: 24 hour parcel people
Watched it last night and coming from a Mail Centre background I was surprised at the lack of Mech equipment. Not sure having all those Forklift trucks charging around was particularly safe but the staff at the hub seemed like a decent enough bunch of people and there seemed a little more of a connection and team-working between staff and managers than at RM. All in all quite sad to think that they all have lost their jobs ... just hope the Bentley wasn't on finance ;)
