Red Funnel has released a revised timetable for 19th September 2022 to allow time to pause and pay tribute to Her Majesty The Queen on the day of her funeral, ensuring team members can watch the service.
Fran Collins, CEO of Red Funnel, said,
“We have made the decision to revise our service on Monday 19th September as a show of respect for Her Majesty The Queen’s 70 years of service to our country. We think it is important to pay tribute to her great contribution and we want to enable our staff to be able to participate and reflect on this day of mourning.
“This is a historic event that will see many across the world united, and it is only right for us to pause and partake in memory of such an inspirational figure in our lives. We apologise to anyone who may be inconvenienced by this decision, but we hope our customers will understand the context and support us too.”
