Logistics firm Bibby Distribution has confirmed it has taken on a contract with car care manufacturer Tetrosyl.
David Haworth, HR Director of Bibby Distribution Limited, said: “We can confirm that Tetrosyl have terminated their contract with Canute and that Bibby Distribution is one of several 3PLs who are now providing logistics services to Tetrosyl.
“Following a number of conversations and detailed written communications with Canute, whereby they maintain that a number of specified employees have transferred to Bibby Distribution’s employment under the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (as amended) (“TUPE”), at this stage we do not believe that TUPE applies.
“However, we are conscious of the impact that this uncertainty may be having on those affected employees who cannot choose how the legislation applies to them. The fact remains that they are not Bibby Distribution employees and so are left in limbo due to Canute taking this stance.
“Whilst we believe they remain Canute employees (and therefore should be being redeployed or made redundant by Canute), we have nonetheless been liaising with them regarding other vacancies in our network.”
According to Motor Transport, Canute was sold last month for just £1.
Tetrosyl did not respond to an invitation to comment.
