130 jobs saved at stricken logistics firm

Some 130 jobs at stricken logistics firm Prolog’s Sherwood Park site have been saved after administrators from Mazars agreed a sale to Cotton Traders, the British casual clothing specialist.

Nottingham-based Prolog went into administration in November 2018. Cotton Traders, to which Prolog was fulfilment partner, has also purchased the entirety of the site’s contents and technical equipment from the administrators. It has brought the warehouse into full alignment with its own business by migrating IT systems and transferring 130 warehouse staff under TUPE regulations.

Altrincham-based Cotton Traders has agreed a long-term lease with the landlord of the Sherwood Park warehouse, which was previously operated by Prolog.

Rebecca Dacre, director at Mazars, said: “Throughout this process Prolog’s employees and clients have been resilient and supportive in what has been a difficult and uncertain time. It is to their credit that, during administration, there has been minimal disruption to customers. Thanks to the efforts of all parties, the future of the Sherwood Park facility is secure, along with 130 jobs.”
