More like they ended the contract as delivery office managers couldn't provide the service they was paying for

I heard a rumour that the contract is going to Asda, but don't quote me.

Doesn't surprise me, all our old manager did was moan and complain to BG about vans and drivers, he seems to forget that they pay a lot for the service, he seemed to forget that it was revenue for RM and thought it was his own personnel business.
