When Woolies owned entertainment distribution firm E-UK acquired its rival THE back in September it said it would keep both companies' autonomous infrastructures going throughout the "critical Christmas period". With that period now over, E-UK bosses have set about properly integrating the two companies - though 'integrating' in the sense of completely shutting down THE and transferring its clients over to the existing E-UK set up, or so reports suggest. Which isn't great news for THE's workforce up there in Newcastle Under Lyme, all 800 odd of them, who are now reportedly on a ninety day 'consultancy period', whatever that means. More when we get it.
