Royal Mail to cut up to 2,500 jobs amid restructure and fall in letter deliveries

Royal Mail is set to cut up to 2,500 jobs as part of a restructuring effort to combat intense competition and declining letter deliveries.

The postal service said the cuts would focus on head office and 'support function roles'.

Royal Mail has been fined a total of £37m since 2023 for missing delivery targets set by Ofcom.
