Wishes and Thanks to the postmen and women at their busiest time of year.
 
Mr. Aldous was shown around the office by local Delivery Office Manager, Peter Harper, and was introduced to the postmen and women who are working hard sorting and delivering all cards and parcels in the area in the run-up to Christmas.
 
Peter Aldous said: “It was great to meet the dedicated, hard-working Royal Mail postmen and women at Lowestoft delivery office to see first-hand just how much effort they put into delivering for people at this time of year. “
 
Peter Harper said: “Christmas is the busiest time of year for Royal Mail. Our people pull out all the stops throughout the year to ensure mail is delivered quickly, but even more so over the busy festive period. We are grateful that Peter came along to see the hard work that goes on behind the scenes. Our people do a fantastic job to ensure that friends and families stay in touch through their Christmas greetings and gifts.”
