Guernsey Post has announced the next phase of its group-wide business transformation programme, launched in 2023 to improve efficiency, respond to financial pressures, and support the long-term sustainability of the organisation.
In close consultation with the Communication Workers Union (CWU) and the Guernsey Post Employee Representative Group, the company has confirmed that changes will impact staffing levels. As part of this process, a voluntary redundancy programme will be made available to eligible employees.
The transformation also includes a strategic restructuring of Guernsey Post's freight subsidiary, HR Air, in response to changing market conditions. From September, Guernsey-based freight deliveries will be integrated into Guernsey Post's core operations. HR Air's customer service and administrative functions will relocate to Jersey. As a result, 10 roles at HR Air Guernsey will be made redundant. Guernsey Post is committed to supporting all affected employees through this transition with care and respect.
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."
These actions mark a key step in Guernsey Post's transformation journey, aimed at building a more efficient, customer-focused and financially stable organisation for the future.
