Royal Mail has announced plans to cut 2,500 head office and support function jobs by the end of 2027, representing approximately 2% of its 131,000-strong workforce. The postal service stated that frontline postal workers, including posties and drivers, will not be affected by these changes. The company aims to improve efficiency through voluntary redundancies and natural attrition, with formal consultation ongoing with unions Communication Workers Union and Unite CMA. CEO Alistair Cochrane emphasized that the changes would remove duplication and allow further investment in customer service. The announcement comes amid Royal Mail's ongoing challenges with meeting delivery targets, having delivered only 75% of first-class letters on time in the year to March 2026, far below its 93% target. The company has faced criticism for slow letter delivery, with over 100 MPs writing to regulators and the business secretary about poor service. Royal Mail has invested £500m over five years as part of its improvement plan, while maintaining its Universal Service Obligation to deliver letters six days a week across the UK. The company, owned by Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky's EP Group since April 2025, has stated it will not abandon the six-day delivery requirement as long as Kretinsky remains in charge. The proposed cuts are part of a broader strategy to modernise operations and address declining demand for letter deliveries, which has been exacerbated by the shift towards digital communication.
