Atlas International Carriers • In CM 25 June-1 July an Industry News story on the collapse of freight forwarder Euro-Forwarding referred to the losses incurred by one of its creditors, Atlas International Carriers. It stated that Atlas managing director Patricia Bolton and her husband Bob were also former employees of Phoenix Cargo, which itself ran into difficulties last August. We would like to point out that at no time were Mr and Mrs Bolton responsible for Phoenix's operations, and that they were also creditors following its collapse—it was never our intention to suggest otherwise. We regret any embarrassment which may have resulted to the Boltons and their company Atlas following their inclusion in the article.
