BAILIFFS have raided the site of a collapsed Hampshire freight business Boyes Conning leaving the future of more than 80 staff still working there on a knife-edge.
In a bid to recover estimated debts of £250,000 owed to the landlord of the site, bailiffs took over the premises of Boyes Conning in West End and turned away stunned staff when they arrived at work yesterday morning.
Tinnelly Transport, which took over the contracts of Boyes Conning after it went bust owing £1.7m to 139 firms, said they had been barred from the site and 80 staff would be out of work on Monday.
Speaking on behalf of Channel Islands based landlord Fox International, which was unavailable for comment, bailiffs said talks would be going on throughout the weekend to see if a way could be found to save the business, based at Burnett Lane.
