TPG to open 300 postal service centres for business customers in Netherlands
AMSTERDAM, Apr 03, 2001 (AFX-Europe via COMTEX) — TNT Post Group NV said its unit PTT Post, which runs the Dutch postal service, will open 300 postal service centres or “Business Points” for corporate customers.
Most of the centres will be located near industry parks in the Netherlands and be open from 7.30-9.30 am and 4.00-7.00 pm.
The first site will open in Amersfoort tomorrow, with 100 centres in total complete by year-end. By the end of 2003, all 300 sites should be open, the company said.
The move looks to offset the PTT’s plans to close some post offices and transfer services to supermarkets and shopping centres. While retail settings will better serve consumers, business clients have expressed a preference for the local service points, TPG said.
