Makeover for Central Market Post Office in Jersey
Jersey Post is to give the Post Office in the Central Market a complete makeover. The current facility has been open since 27th March 1972 and the current postmaster Mal Brown has decided to retire. Jersey Post will be taking the opportunity to refurbish the interior and to provide new services such as commission free foreign exchange, and a new Post and Pay self-service kiosk. All other current services will remain on offer.
John Pinel, Jersey Post Chief Executive explained: “The Central Market Post Office is an important facility for local people and has been very capably run for eleven years by Mal Brown, the current Sub Postmaster, who retires on 26 June 2008. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mal and pay tribute to her dedication and hard work. We are always looking to improve the services we offer to customers and will be taking this opportunity to give the office a complete makeover and add in a new range of services. For us at Jersey Post, it is all about bringing useful services as close to the people who use them as possible.”
The Central Market Post Office was deemed an ideal location for local people because of the high footfall in the market. It has become an important part of the local community and Mal Brown said that the Post Office also provides an important community service – if some of her regulars don’t show up she has been known to call and check if they are alright. Mal also said that she has been touched by the thank you gifts that Islanders have given her over the years ranging from farm fresh produce to honey.
The refurbishment work has been designed to cause minimal disruption; the Post Office will close on Thursday 26 June and reopen, fully operational, at the new earlier time of 08.30 on Monday 30 June. Normal postal services will be available from Broad Street and other convenient Post Offices during this period.
