Redundancies at Guernsey Post

Wednesday, 2 July 2025 08:30

Some Guernsey Post staff are being offered voluntary redundancy as part of a restructuring process.

The business has announced the job cuts as part of a group-wide 'transformation programme' that began in 2023.

It needs to cut costs and make efficiencies to ensure its future financial stability.

Guernsey Post has also announced ten roles will be cut from its freight subsidiary HR Air.

From September, Guernsey-based freight deliveries will become part of its core operations, and HR Air's customer service and admin functions will move to Jersey.

The organisation says it has consulted with the Communication Workers Union (CWU) and the Guernsey Post Employee Representative Group and is committed to supporting affected staff.

Steve Sheridan, Chief Executive of Guernsey Post, said:

“This has been a very difficult decision, but a necessary one to respond to changing market dynamics and ensure we are operating in a way that is both efficient and sustainable.

"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 HR brand remains an important part of our group, and these changes will enhance our overall capability as we move forward.”

In March 2023, 35 employees took voluntary redundancy as Guernsey Post slimmed its workforce by 10% to help reverse its fortunes.

It has reported successive annual operating losses or £1.1m in 2024 and £2.3m in 2023.
