ALLOWING competition into Jersey’s bulk mailing market could force Guernsey Post to look at cutting household deliveries, according to the company’s chief executive.

Gordon Steele said some local companies might choose to send their mail through Jersey because it would be cheaper.

The Jersey Competition Regulatory Authority will decide in October whether to open up the bulk mailing market to competition.
