Leaders Weigh In on the Big Parcel Shake-Up
“We are fundamentally transforming Post Office by introducing new mail carriers for over-the-counter sales for the first time in our 360-year history,” said Nick Read, CEO at Post Office. “This partnership with DPD and Evri disrupts the mails market to give customers more choice and support Postmasters as we build a Post Office fit for the future.”
Elliot Jacobs, Postmaster and Non-executive Director, added, “Offering multiple carriers in our branches makes life easier for customers and drives foot traffic to high streets, giving local businesses a boost.”
