Menzies & Aviance
There is no truth in the Menzies / Aviance merger or takeover at Manchester or anywhere else at the moment. The Menzies operation at MAN is now well established and actively looking for new contracts, following the start up with Manchester Handling. It was always the aim of Menzies to take front of house and ops fully inhouse and this was done in sept/oct 05.
Hapag Lloyd Express will be a Menzies contract from 01May06 and another contract will follow shortly, if not already common knowledge.
As to Menzies at GLA..keep a close eye on it, but dont count your chickens too quickly on that one....
