Competing mail firm may not need Island premises

Saturday 11th April 2009, 2:56PM BST.

THE global mail business looking to compete with Jersey Post for delivering packages to the UK says that it may not need premises in Jersey to conduct operations.

The company has applied for a class 1 operator licence under the Postal Law to the Jersey Competition Regulatory Authority.

It wants to be able to deliver items such as CDs and DVDs to the UK for fulfilment companies based in Jersey.

The managing director of Citipost DSA, Rob Bradford (pictured), said that if a licence were granted, it was likely to use an existing third party operator to do collections and transport the packages to a port for shipping.

He said they were not looking at delivering in Jersey but providing export services for large mail producers.

Take the cream and leave Jersey post to provide a service we need ?
No licence should be granted without a service level agreement.
Remember Emeraud.
