Royal Mail has announced it will create 672 jobs in Birmingham and Coventry when it opens two temporary parcel sort centres to deal with Christmas volumes.
Overall, nine centres will be opened from 31 October across the UK.
The centres are being set up for the sixth consecutive year. They are located in Bathgate in West Lothian, Rochdale, Leeds, Llantrisant, Pontyclun, in South Wales, Birmingham, Swindon, Greenford, Atherstone, and in Coventry for international parcels and cards.
Around 3,500 seasonal workers will be based in the parcel sort centres. They will support Royal Mail’s 120,000 permanent post workers.
