Postal Business
The core of the Jersey Post Group, the postal business, is probably more widely recognised as Jersey Post. Jersey Post has come a long way since the first postmaster was appointed in 1745 and today, Jersey Post has two branches to it – the post office network branch (Retail) and the collection and delivery branch (Postal Services). The Managing Director is Ian Carr.
Jersey Post - Retail
The Retail division of Jersey Post operates a network of 22 crown and sub post offices across the island. These offices can be found in a range of convenient locations and are often housed within a partner outlet such as the Channel Island Cooperative Society, Spar or Sandpiper. In response to increasing customer demands and market trends, the retail network has evolved significantly over recent years and now offers a much wider variety of services than simply postage. Foreign exchange, MoneyGram, States of Jersey housing and pension payments, Lloyds TSB and Barclays banking and utility bill payments are now all offered over Jersey Post Counters, making a trip to the post office a convenient one-stop shop. There are now convenient and easy to use, automated Post & Pay kiosks at Broad Street, Rue des Pres and Central Market post offices.
Jersey Post - Postal Services
Postal Services incorporates the collection and delivery elements of our service for both residential and business customers. This service is run under a licence granted by the Jersey Competition Regulatory Authority and is often referred to as the ‘Universal Service Obligation’.

Now with over 150 employees, Jersey Post collects mail from over 187 post boxes twice a day, five days a week and also operates a Saturday morning collection. Business and residential customers now receive hand-delivered mail, direct to their door from Monday through to Saturday, come rain or shine!
Jersey Post - Parcel services
Under the direction of Postal Businesses also sit a number of other business units. In addition to the services offered under the Universal Service Obligation, Postal Services offer a range of flexible, tailor-made services for business customers.More information on these services can be found in the Business section of this site.
Through alliances with key partners in the mail and logistics market, including Royal Mail and FedEx, Jersey Post provides a range of mail and courier solutions.
