Guernsey Post to offer staff voluntary redundancy

Guernsey Post said it was carrying out a restructuring process

Some Guernsey Post employees are to be offered voluntary redundancy as part of a restructuring process, bosses say.

The company said the move was part of the next phase of plans which were aimed at dealing with financial pressures and making efficiency improvements.

It added that, along with voluntary redundancy for eligible employees, 10 roles at its freight subsidiary HR Air were set to be cut as it moved customer service and administrative functions to Jersey.

Chief executive Steve Sheridan said it had been a "very difficult decision" to take, but one Guernsey Post felt was necessary to remain sustainable.

Mr Sheridan said: "These changes affect both Guernsey Post and HR Air and are part of a broader effort to strengthen our operations for the future.

"Our priority is to support our colleagues through this transition while continuing to deliver reliable and high-quality service to our customers."

The firm said it was in consultation with the Communication Workers Union (CWU) and the Guernsey Post Employee Representative Group over the plans.
