13MILLION CHRISTMAS CARDS AND PARCELS DELIVERED THANKS TO WIGHTLINK AND ROYAL MAIL

An estimated 13million Christmas cards and parcels have made their way to the Isle of Wight thanks to Wightlink’s ongoing partnership with Royal Mail.

To mark the occasion, Steve New and Garry Spanner from Royal Mail paid a special visit to the bridge on Victoria of Wight, accompanied by a few naughty elves, to oversee deliveries at this crucial time of year and chat with Wightlink’s Captain Bills and Kirstie Higgins-Day as Christmas post made its way safely across the Solent.

The Wightlink Business team is proud to play such an important role in keeping Island communities connected, especially during the busiest and most magical time of the year.
