As a driver working in Manchester in all honesty I don’t think it will. There’s been a huge decline in people wanting to work in the industry for the last few years but I’ve heard so many of my colleagues say over the last few weeks with all the talk of who’s won what that they are looking to get out before franchising comes in. There’s going to be a huge shortage of drivers and it’s going to seriously effect the whole model.
