Royal Mail Plans to Cut Up to 2,500 Head Office Roles
By Rhyter Times Desk · 2h ago
Royal Mail is preparing to eliminate as many as 2,500 administrative positions as part of a restructuring effort. The postal delivery operator confirmed the planned reductions following what it described as an organisational review.
The cutbacks are directed at head office and support staff rather than postal delivery routes. The projected schedule for concluding the staff reductions remains mixed in current disclosures, with timelines cited as either the end of next year or by the close of 2027.
