UK – Royal Mail Hiring 19,000 Seasonal Workers for Christmas

UK postal giant Royal Mail plans to hire around 19,000 seasonal workers to help sort its Christmas mailbag.

The employer, which was privatised in late 2013, said temporary positions across a variety of shifts will be available between mid-November and early January 2015 and that the peak of the additional temporary work will be in December.

The FTSE 100 firm said the majority of the temporary staff will support the company’s 124,000 strong workforce.

“Christmas is the busiest time of the year for Royal Mail and we plan all year round to help ensure we deliver the best possible service to our customers,” said Sue Whalley, chief operations officer of the Royal Mail.
