Last week, Grimsby Live reported on the owners of the Lindsey Oil Refinery entering administration. A logistics arm of Prax Group has now also entered administration and is to close down.

Teneo Financial Advisory Limited was appointed as the administrator for Axis Logistics on July 7. Axis provides logistics and distribution services to Prax Group, including to petrol station forecourts and airports. It has been confirmed the majority of its 137 staff have been made redundant with immediate effect.

The 137 staff are separate from the headcount of approximately 400 staff who work at the oil refinery itself.
