From the Company Secretary
of The Post Office
Sir, Your correspondents (letters, January 11 and 13) need have no fears. In our announcement last week about Consignia, the name of our new holding company to be set up in March, we made clear that none of our familiar brands on the high street will change at all.
No “vast cost” is involved because there will be no change to our red
vans or postboxes; our postmen and women will still have the same
uniforms;
our network of 18,000 post office branches across the UK will remain just
that
· post offices; and our customers will still be posting their letters with Royal Mail, and their parcels with Parcelforce.
Our trading brands are very valuable to us, and we have no intention of giving them up.
Yours etc,
JONATHAN EVANS,
Company Secretary,
The Post Office,
148 Old Street, EC1V 9HQ.
January 16.
