Also heard that another company has apparently been interested in moving part of their operations to Chadderton and taking on the lease but have since decided not to due rates being too high and various other reasons.

I’ve said several times that HCT have a 7 year lease on the site and have no intention of giving it up or sub letting it.
Engineers have been kept on and interestingly the northern regional director of HCT who oversees operations outside of London will be based at Chadderton and CT PLUS Yorkshire’s ops manager will also have an office there.

There was another pretty well known operator keen to take on MCT as a whole so it’s no surprising that companies are interested in the depot given its proximity to the M60 etc, it’s pretty much perfect but from what’s been said it’s staying with HCT.
