MAYOR of Worcester Coun Jabba Riaz visited the Royal Mail’s city delivery office to see the operation of delivering Christmas post and to pass on early greetings to its dedicated, hardworking staff.
Coun Riaz was shown around the office and introduced to the postmen and women, who will be out and about and deliver mail in Worcester in the run up to Christmas.
“At no other time is the hard work and dedication of postmen and women clearer than during the festive period.
There is a huge amount of effort and dedication that goes into delivering a first class Christmas all over the country,” he said.
“It was great to meet the team here at Worcester and thank them for the extraordinary lengths they will go to to ensure Christmas parcels and cards are delivered to loved ones on time, as well as thanking them for delivering our mail services all through the year, in all weathers.”
Glenn George, delivery office manager, said: “Our postmen and women will be working extremely hard to deliver Christmas parcels, cards, letters and parcels to people in Worcester. We are grateful that the Mayor visited the office to see our operation and to support the team.
“We’d like to remind our customers to post early this Christmas and to ensure all their mail is posted by the recommended dates, so that friends and family can enjoy their Christmas greetings and parcels.
“If everyone uses the postcode on every item of mail, this also helps us greatly in the job that we do at this very busy time.”
The last first class posting date is tomorrow (Thursday) and Saturday (December 22) for items sent by special delivery.
