Workers sacked by text message

Manchester-based The Accident Group (TAG), which was set up 10 years ago, helped customers receive compensation for injuries suffered in accidents. The company was founded by husband-and-wife team Mark and Deborah Langford. Mr Langford celebrated his 39th birthday yesterday. TAG was hit by yesterday’s job losses after its parent company, The Amulet Group, was put into administration.

Many employees at TAG, which has in the past been accused of aggressive selling methods, spoke of their anger last night after they learnt of their fate by text message.
