La Poste France launches first ‘new look’ post office
La Poste, the French national postal services group, is launching the first of its revamped post offices today in Trelaze in the Maine-et-Loire. In total, the group plans to modernize 3,500 post offices nationwide by the end of 2008, for an investment of 770m euros. The new post offices are designed to be more attractive, particularly to younger people, and better located. They will be based on automated machines that can provide an estimated 60 per cent of services required. The modernization programme is seen as vital to the future of La Poste, which is increasingly exposed to competition.”
