Description

Hammonds Support Systems, a Bradford-based conveyancing company, has made its 200 staff in Bradford redundant. The company went officially into administration on 23 January 2009 and the job losses were immediate, apart from a few employees who remained to assist the administrators. The cuts came after the failure of the administrators to find buyers for the business.
