Looks like HCT Group’s CT Plus Yorkshire operation is to be no more.

Yorkshire seeks service transfer
Wednesday 3 August 2022
You will all be aware that we have had significant difficulties
in our Yorkshire operation for some time. We have faced
multiple challenges - a period of difficult trading prior to the
pandemic, the financial impact of the pandemic itself,
followed immediately by the current surge in fuel prices and
labour cost.
Everyone at CT Plus Yorkshire and Powell's - and across the
wider HCT Group - has worked tirelessly to put the
operations in Yorkshire on a sustainable footing, but there is
nothing further to be done and the situation cannot continue
We have two priorities right now - we want to ensure that
services to the public are not disrupted, but most importantly,
we want to preserve as many jobs as possible. We are now
talking with our commissioners across Yorkshire, seeing if we
can transfer as many services as possible over to new
operators. This would mean that all or most of our team can
transfer to new operators with their jobs intact. We expect
this process to take up to a week and we are hopeful that an
agreement can be reached. We will keep you updated on our
conversations and progress in the coming days.
This is an immensely sad day for all of us across the Group,
and we are sorry for the distress that this situation will
inevitably cause.
