Royal Mail to take on 20,000 new workers over busy festive period

The postal service confirmed that the new positions will be spread across two parcel hubs, four seasonal parcel sorting centres, and 37 mail centres throughout the country. This significant hiring drive is intended to help the company manage the expected surge in demand around key shopping events, including Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the festive season.
