Coach company serving Oxfordshire schools to be liquidated

A coach company that serves Oxfordshire schools is insolvent and is due to be liquidated, it has announced.

Jeffs Travel, which has been trading since 1958, said in a statement it had collapsed because of "the loss of contracts and a large bad debt".

The company, which is based in Brackley in Northamptonshire, said this would mean the loss of 15 full-time jobs and 10 casual posts.

Parents have voiced concerns about how their children will get to school.

The schools affected include Headington Girls School, Rye St Antony School, Magdalen College School and Oxford High School.

Caroline Wild said her daughter was now having to take the train to school in the mornings from Banbury to Oxford...

Another firm caught up with Island Fortitude, of course.

Sad Times..
I worked as a driver for both the old and new Jeffs, and feel sorry for my ex colleagues who have been caught up in this a second time.
I left 30 months ago, and am still caught up (for the tune of £700.00), thanks to the mishandling of HMR&C unpaid monies by Island fourtitudes.

Are they not involved in the Eddie Brown fiasco also?
