Christophe Mathieu, CEO of both Brittany Ferries and Condor, said:

‘Brittany Ferries has the experience, expertise and scale, along with extensive knowledge of the transport sector and customer service to implement best practices, which ultimately will result in a better service for Condor’s passengers.

This change demonstrates our commitment to the Islands, shows Brittany Ferries is adding strength and depth to the existing team and delivers continuity and resilience in the long term.

We believe we operate exactly the right fleet for the Islands: a mix of conventional freight and passenger ferries for lifeline freight and travel for Islanders, alongside the high speed vessels that are essential for supporting the visitor economies of Jersey and Guernsey.’

Once approved by the regulatory authorities in Jersey and Guernsey, Brittany Ferries will own 51% of Condor Ferries, with Columbia Threadneedle retaining a minority shareholding.
