📮 Big Changes Ahead for Royal Mail! 📬
Royal Mail is gearing up for a major shift as they plan to phase out second class post on Saturdays. The move, approved by Ofcom, means that second class letters will soon only be delivered every other weekday. But don’t worry, first-class post will still be coming to your door Monday through Saturday as usual!
Rolling out this change is a massive task, with Royal Mail working to ensure a smooth transition using insights from their current pilot scheme. Martin Seidenberg, CEO of the company’s owner, International Distribution Services, admits it’s a “massive task” and says they plan to take their time to get it right, aiming to finish well into 2026.
Despite these changes, Royal Mail is celebrating some good news! The company is back in profit for the first time in three years, thanks to strategic reforms and a boost in parcel volumes, which increased by 6% this year. 🏆📈
Following their acquisition by Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky’s EP Group, Royal Mail plans to continue its expansion by investing in postal lockers and increasing their out-of-home delivery locations across the globe.
With a workforce of 130,000 and a network of 1,200 delivery offices, it’s truly a transformation period for Royal Mail. They’re staying committed to their Universal Service Obligation and are determined to bring their best to customers everywhere!
