Fastway fallout: 'Financially, this is crippling - I'm down €200,000'

Fastway handled 25m parcels annually and small businesses are struggling with the fallout

The ripple from the collapse of delivery firm Fastway continues to be felt. Fastway handled 25m parcels annually.

The collapse of delivery firm Fastway has left workers and drivers owed millions of euro and hundreds of small firms left scrambling to find other ways to move their stock ahead of Christmas.

Nuvion Group, the parent company of Fastway and Parcel Connect, went into receivership last week, with 300 workers directly affected, and close to 700 subcontractors and franchise delivery workers left in limbo.
