P&O Ferries has told staff it is proposing to change its management structure, which is expected to result in the loss of around 60 jobs in the UK – with another 60 being restructured into existing or similar roles. The proposals do not affect operational staff below leadership level in any of the company’s UK, Ireland or European ports – or any staff aboard vessels.
A P&O Ferries spokesperson said: “We are consulting with our colleagues and trade unions about proposed changes to our management structure. Our proposals aim to put us on a competitive, sustainable footing, and deliver for our customers by offering the best-in-class service on the vital UK tourist and trade routes that we serve.
“These proposals do not affect our operational colleagues below leadership level in any of our UK, Ireland or European ports or any colleagues aboard our vessels. We are focused on investing heavily to meet the long-term needs of our customers who want value for money, greener journeys and flexibility.
