Council responds to Tuffnells going into administration Following the announcement that Tuffnells Parcels Express, a Sheffield-based parcel delivery business, has gone into administration, Sheffield City Council is working with Jobcentre Plus and South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority to offer support to staff who are likely to be made redundant. Of the 2,200 staff nationally, 347 people will be affected in Sheffield, with the majority of roles in the administration, driving or warehouse specialisms. When a large employer goes into administration, a Rapid Response Service is put in place to support staff impacted by the closure. This service is facilitated through Jobcentre Plus and includes key local partners – in this case likely to be the National Careers Service and Invest Sheffield and provides people who have lost their jobs with services to help them find a new role in a similar sector.

Councillor Martin Smith, Committee Chair for Economic Development and Skills, said: “The closure of Tuffnells will be concerning for many residents, particularly those who have lost their jobs. “To support people who have been made redundant, the Rapid Response Service will be rolled out, which will support people to find new work in their sector. This vital service will help give people the confidence and knowledge they need to rebuild their careers following the sad news of the Tuffnells closure. Tuffnells employees who have been made redundant can access support services through their local job centre, where they will be provided with additional resources and bespoke services including CV writing support, interview skills and job search advice.
