Lloyd Fraser Group enters administration

We were sorry to hear the news that Birmingham-based logistics firm Lloyd Fraser Group has entered administration. We understand 444 jobs have been lost since the company ceased trading on 22 September, with a further 700 jobs under threat. Kroll has been appointed as administrator to the logistics company and its five subsidiaries.

Sadly, it is common for administrators to make immediate redundancies, without prior warning or any consultation process.

A failure to follow a consultation process could lead to employees being able to claim protective award compensation from an Employment Tribunal of up to 90 days’ pay. Such a claim could be pursued if:

  • 20 or more people were made redundant at the same workplace and;
  • There was no information and consultation process, or it wasn’t carried out correctly prior to making redundancies.

If you’d like to consider taking legal action, contact our employment team confidentially now for more information.

There are strict Tribunal deadlines within which to pursue these claims, so you mustn’t delay if you believe you may be affected.
