DHL Express is planning to close five domestic service centres across the UK and is currently involved in a formal consultation with employees at the sites.

A spokeswoman says the company is hoping to re-deploy all 60 of the staff based across the five centres after taking the decision to close the sites in Galashiels, Scotland Aintree, Merseyside Scarborough, North Yorks Basildon, Essex and Southampton, Hants.

“DHL Express has recently undertaken a review of its domestic operation with a view to repositioning the business model in accordance with current market requirements.

“As part of this process, proposals, subject to consultation, are underway to close five domestic service centres across the UK,” she adds.

The redundancy packages on offer are voluntary and it is hoped only a handful of staff cuts will be necessary. The GMB Union says it will not comment while the consultation is taking place.
