Axe falling at First Potteries?

Article Image

First appears to be winding up its First Potteries operation, with its depots in Birkenhead, Chester and Wrexham being transferred to First Manchester, while its Staffordshire fleet will come under the control of First Midlands. The company emphasises that there will be no change to its services, describing the moves as a restructure to improve efficiency.

First is unable to say what will be happening to the First Potteries management team, based at Stoke-on-Trent and currently headed by managing director Ken Poole. First Potteries runs 365 vehicles.
