Parcels carrier Panic Link expects to create 550 additional jobs in the next 18 months mainly on the back of new international business.
Around 250 jobs, including new driver positions, will be created at its franchisees around the UK, it says.
Another 300 jobs—for sorting, office and computer staff— will be at a new multi-million F:urohub to be built next to its headquarters at Lount, Leicestershire.
Planning permission for the advanced sorting centre is expected at the end of July. The 56,000m2 Eurohub should be completed in spring 1995.
Panic Link has just launched a next-day service to major European cities using agents. Over the next year it will grant master licences, giving operators the right to award franchises in individual countries. A licensee for the Republic of Ireland will be named within a few weeks, says company secretary Robert Benoist.
